Benjamin Stoloff


Benjamin Stoloff was an American film director and producer. He began his career as a director of short films, and he moved into directing and producing feature films.

Background

During late October of 1930, after six weeks of filming the Rube Goldberg comedy, "Soup to Nuts," Stoloff, the film's director reportedly told news reporters that "never in all his experience of directing thirty-three pictures for Fox Films, many of which were comedies, had he worked with such irresistible and uncontrollable 'nuts' as Ted Healy and Rube Goldberg."
In 1931, he directed Victor McLaglen and Fay Wray in "Not Exactly Gentlemen." In 1935, he directed Jack Benny, Nancy Carroll and Gene Raymond in "Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round," which was subsequently released by United Artists.
