Connection
Louis Clyde Stoumen is a Director, Writer, Producer, Director of Photography, Editor and Production Design American born on 15 july 1917 at Springtown (USA)
Louis Clyde Stoumen (15 July 1917 – 20 September 1991) was an American film director and producer. He won two Academy Awards; the first in 1957 for Best Documentary Short Subject (The True Story of the Civil War), and the second in 1963 for Best Documentary Feature (Black Fox: The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler).
He was born in Springtown, Pennsylvania and died in Sonoma County, California.
Stoumen also taught at UCLA Film School. He spoke of his innovation in The True Story of the Civil War. He invented a track for the camera to move back and forth over historic photos and paintings. It also tracked up and down (in and out). The technique is often referred to today as "The Ken Burns Effect."
Stoumen also received Colin Higgin's Masters Thesis, a screenplay called Harold and Maude. Stoumen spoke of his enjoyment of the writing, but doubted it would ever be produced. He wasn't unhappy when proven wrong by the film's success.
After his death in 1991, the Stoumen Estate gifted the entire archive of Stoumen's work, including copyright, to the Museum of Photographic Arts. MOPA created a special exhibition and catalog entitled Seduced by Life: The Art of Lou Stoumen in celebration of acquiring the Stoumen Archive. Copyright for Stoumen's work is currently administered by the Museum of Photographic Arts.

Hondo Lane (John Wayne) arrives on foot at a ranch where Mrs. Angie Lowe (Geraldine Page) and her son Johnny (Lee Aaker) have been deserted by her husband for months. Part Apache, Hondo tries to avoid confrontation with war chief Vittorio (Michael Pate), but finally bails out a new, inexperienced new West Point graduate, Lieutenant McKay (Tom Irish), and old friend and Army scout, Buffalo (Ward Bond). When Hondo finally admits he had to kill Mr Lowe (Leo Gordon) in self-defense, Angie reveals her husband was a gambler, unfaithful, unkind, and only married her for her inheritance. She disagrees with Hondo's devotion to "truth", calls his desire to confess to Johnny selfish, and asks to leave with him and the remains of a wagon train heading towards his farm that looks just like hers.

Une jeune employée de bureau, Ann Walton, ne cesse de fuir, tel un être traqué. Violée, à la veille de son mariage, elle sillonne les routes sans but précis. Une entorse à la cheville la cloue bientôt au sol et lui fait perdre connaissance. Elle est alors recueillie par un pasteur, Bruce Ferguson, qui tente de lui redonner goût à la vie. Mais, lors d'un bal de campagne, un homme l'invite à danser et cherche à l'embrasser. Elle croit revoir son agresseur d'autrefois et, à l'aide d'une clef anglaise, lui assène de terribles coups. Récupérée, elle est arrêtée. Le shérif, Charlie Hanlon, raconte à Ferguson le dur passé d'Ann. Le pasteur prend, dès lors, la défense de la jeune femme devant le juge d'instruction et se porte garant de son rétablissement psychologique.
