del ruth
Roy Del Ruth turned out some snappy early talkies at Warners but his career faded once the Production Code was enforced in 1934. While his WB cohorts Curtiz, Leroy and Wellman moved on to become major industry players Del Ruth did little to distinguish himself in a series of dull programmers and B-pictures.
