Lloyd Corrigan (October 16, 1900 – November 5, 1969) was an American film and television actor, producer, screenwriter, and director who began working in films in the 1920s. The son of actress Lillian Elliott, Corrigan directed films, usually mysteries such as Daughter of the Dragon starring Anna May Wong (one of a trilogy of Fu Manchu movies for which he has writing credits), before dedicating himself more to acting in 1938. His short La Cucaracha won an Academy Award in 1935.

Biography

Excepté deux films muets comme acteur en 1925 et 1927, Lloyd Corrigan débute au cinéma principalement comme réalisateur (treize films de 1930 à 1937) et scénariste (vingt-sept films de 1926 à 1939). Sa réalisation la plus connue est sans doute Le Danseur pirate de 1936, présenté comme le premier film musical entièrement tourné en Technicolor. En tant que scénariste, il collabore principalement, à l'époque du muet, avec le réalisateur Clarence G. Badger.

À partir de 1939 et jusqu'en 1967, il est exclusivement acteur, participant durant cette période à cent-trois films américains, comme second rôle de caractère, entre autres dans les genres de la comédie, du film musical et du western. Mentionnons Planqué malgré lui (1950) de John Ford et Un monde fou, fou, fou, fou (1963) de Stanley Kramer, l'un de ses trois derniers films.

À la télévision, Lloyd Corrigan contribue à un téléfilm en 1960, et surtout à cinquante-six séries, entre 1952 et 1966, notamment dans le même genre du western (voir sa filmographie ci-dessous).

Enfin, au théâtre, il joue une seule fois à Broadway (New York) en 1933, dans la pièce Her Man of Wax, mise en scène par le futur réalisateur Arthur Lubin (son premier film sort l'année suivante).

Il est le fils des acteurs James Corrigan (1867-1929) et Lillian Elliott (1874-1959).

In seventeenth century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the swordfight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
