Joseph A. McDonough

Joseph A. McDonough

Joseph A. McDonough (20 October, 1896 - 11 May, 1944) was an assistant director in Hollywood, perhaps most noted for working often with James Whale, even after Whale left Universal Studios. Among the films he worked on with Whale at Universal were "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Old Dark House" (1932), "The Invisible Man" (1933), "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) and the 1936 version of "Show Boat". At MGM, McDonough worked with Whale on the unsuccessful "Port of Seven Seas" (1938), an American, and somewhat disguised, adaptation of the French Marcel Pagnol "Marius Trilogy".

He also worked on the W.C. Fields-Mae West classic comedy "My Little Chickadee" in 1940, and on the supernatural anthology film "Flesh and Fantasy", in 1943. In 1934, he was nominated for an Oscar, not for any one film, but for his body of work, in a category that would be discontinued after 1937.
