Mini Biography

A writer with effective leanings towards wit and satire, Claude Binyon began being a reporter for the Chicago Examiner. Unsuited to being truly a direct newspaperman, he was quickly terminated. non-etheless, the editors from the paper recognized writing skill if they noticed it and suggested him towards the present biz magazine Range. Between 1925 and 1932, Binyon added not only content to Range, but also well-known (or infamous) headlines like ‘Sticks Nix Hick Pix’, a kind of slang which translated to ‘nation folk can’t stand movies about nation lifestyle’ (Binyon’s content disputing Hollywood’s long-held perception that rural viewers had been loath to viewing films about town existence). Binyon was ultimately dismissed from Range when he started to moonlight as the writer of humorous brief stories for additional publications. The second portion of Binyon’s career was spent at Paramount, where he came under contract like a screenwriter from 1932 until 1946. He is at his component with idiosyncratic or screwball humor, of particular take note being the traditional W.C. Areas opus Mississippi (1935), referred to by Andre Sennwald of the brand new York Instances as ‘madly funny at adequate size’; and two Claudette Colbert endeavors, The Gilded Lily (1935) and I Met Him in Paris (1937). Probably Binyon’s greatest screenplay was the madcap farce Accurate Confession (1937), having a smart satirical courtroom picture and witty, rapid-fire dialogue, tailor-made for celebrities Carole Lombard, Fred MacMurray and John Barrymore. By the past due 1930’s, Binyon was also more often tasked with non-comedic assignments, efficiently handling A-grade musicals (Sing, You Sinners (1938),Holiday Inn (1942),Incendiary Blonde (1945)) and, not effectively, westerns; proof: Az (1940). Binyon mixed writing with path for The Saxon Appeal (1948), the ponderous tale of the egocentric Broadway maker (performed by Robert Montgomery) who inflicts misery on throughout him. Without specifically a flop, the film didn’t make very much headway on the container office. In comparison, Binyon’s best work as article writer/movie director was the satirical Dreamboat (1952), which cleverly poked fun at moviedom’s key rival, tv, as portrayed through the inimitably erudite and barbed delivery of its superstar, Clifton Webb. Binyon teamed up with another humor veteran, Leo McCarey (who also created and aimed), for the screenplay of Rally ‘Circular the Flag, Children! (1958), that was simultaneously a satire over the American life-style and in addition sheer slapstick, similar to the Keystone Kops and filled with a frenetic picture performed out by Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward within a missile control area. In the 1960’s, Binyon’s output reduced greatly, though he wrote, in collaboration with John Lee Mahin and Martin Rackin, the screenplay for the rollicking western-comedy North to Alaska (1960). After devastating critical testimonials for his function (with Robert G. Kane) on Kisses for My Leader (1964), Binyon known as it each day and retired. He passed away in Glendale, California, of heart disease in 1978, at age 72.
