Soon, he became fascinated by the newly emerging medium of films and ventured into Hollywood as a scriptwriter. Within a few years he moved behind the camera and started directing films, beginning with Dashiell Hammett’s detective thriller, The Maltese Falcon. As a director, he focused greatly on the visual aspects of the film which made each of his movies a treat to the eyes.
