George Sidney

George Sidney

Highest Rated: 100% The Harvey Girls (1946)

Lowest Rated: 29% Half a Sixpence (1968)

Birthday: Oct 4, 1916

Birthplace: Queens, New York, USA

The son of a producer and MGM executive, and a mother who was one of the Mooney Sisters in vaudeville, George Sidney worked his way up from messenger boy to director of numerous MGM musical hits--at one point 15 consecutive box office winners. Though his artistry is not as renowned as Vincente Minnelli, Stanley Donen and Busby Berkeley, Sidney can lay claim to having directed such classic musicals as "Anchors Aweigh" (1945) "The Harvey Girls" (1946), the 1951 remake of "Show Boat" and "Bye Bye Birdie" (1962).
