John Charles Nugent (connu comme J. C. Nugent) est un acteur, réalisateur, scénariste, dramaturge et metteur en scène américain, né le 6 avril 1868 à Niles (Ohio), mort le 21 avril 1947 à New York (État de New York).

Biography

Père d'Elliott Nugent (1896-1980), il collabore souvent avec lui au théâtre et au cinéma. En 1922, il débute à Broadway dans Kempy, où il joue aux côtés de son fils et de Grant Mitchell. Cette pièce, coécrite par les Nugent, est reprise au même lieu en 1927, J. C. Nugent assurant la mise en scène et ayant pour partenaire Clara Blandick.

Sa dernière pièce à Broadway — comme acteur — est Le Baladin du monde occidental de John Millington Synge (avec Julie Harris, J. M. Kerrigan, Burgess Meredith, Mildred Natwick et Maureen Stapleton), représentée de fin octobre 1946 à début janvier 1947. Il meurt à New York trois mois et demi après.

Auparavant, citons également Skyrocket de Mark Reed (1929, avec Clara Blandick, Humphrey Bogart, Howard Freeman, Mary Phillips et Ian Wolfe), When We Are Married de John Boynton Priestley (1939-1940, avec Sally O'Neil, Tom Powers, Alison Skipworth et Philip Tonge), ou encore A Place of Our Own d'Elliott Nugent (1945, avec John Archer, Jeanne Cagney, Robert Keith et Mercedes McCambridge), trois pièces où il est acteur uniquement.

À l'écran, le premier film que J. C. Nugent interprète — et scénarise — est Wise Girls d'E. Mason Hopper (adaptation de Kempy précitée, avec son fils Elliott, Roland Young et Clara Blandick), sorti en 1929.

Suivent seulement vingt autres films américains comme acteur (le dernier sorti en 1943), dont Big House de George W. Hill (1930, avec Chester Morris, Wallace Beery et Lewis Stone), Le Millionnaire de John G. Adolfi (1931, avec George Arliss, Evalyn Knapp et James Cagney), Brigade spéciale de Ralph Murphy (1935, avec Fred MacMurray, Madge Evans et Grant Mitchell) et Une étoile est née de William A. Wellman (1937, avec Janet Gaynor et Fredric March, et où il retrouve à nouveau Clara Blandick).

Et notons qu'il joue dans trois films réalisés par son fils Elliott Nugent, dont Give Me a Sailor (1938, avec Martha Raye, Bob Hope et Betty Grable).

Comme scénariste, mentionnons Le Club des trois de Jack Conway (1930, avec Lon Chaney, Lila Lee et Elliott Nugent). Et évoquons Alibi de Roland West (1929, avec Chester Morris et Mae Busch), adaptation de la pièce Nightstick coécrite par lui (créée à Broadway en novembre 1927, avec Victor Kilian, Thomas Mitchell et Lee Patrick)

Enfin, expérience unique, il est le réalisateur du court métrage The Rounder (1930, avec Jack Benny, Dorothy Sebastian et Polly Moran).

Modern Times portrays Chaplin as a factory worker employed on an assembly line. There, he is subjected to such indignities as being force-fed by a "modern" feeding machine and an accelerating assembly line where he screws nuts at an ever-increasing rate onto pieces of machinery. He finally suffers a nervous breakdown and runs amok, throwing the factory into chaos. He is sent to a hospital. Following his recovery, the now unemployed factory worker is mistakenly arrested as an instigator in a Communist demonstration. In jail, he accidentally ingests smuggled cocaine, mistaking it for salt. In his subsequent delirium, he gets out of the jail. When he returns, he stumbles upon a jailbreak and knocks the convicts unconscious. He is hailed a hero and is released.
