Biographical / historical:: Reginald LeBorg was a Vienna-born director who directed American feature films from 1943 to 1973. Trained as a banker, he turned to the theater after his family's fortune was wiped out by the Great Depression that began in 1929. He worked at the Max Reinhardt School in Vienna, and later directed operas and musical comedies in Europe. Coming to Hollywood in the early 1930s, he worked as an extra, staged opera sequences for several films, and served as a second unit director at various studios. He graduated to directing at Universal in the early 1940s, first on musical shorts and then, after a stint with the U.S. Army, as a director of low-budget features. Beginning in the mid-1950s, he worked primarily in episodic television.
