Biography

Director John Rawlins began his film career in 1918 as an actor, stuntman, gag writer, and assistant director. After a period working as a comedy writer, he transitioned to editing and later directed second features for First National in Britain during the early 1930s. Upon returning to the United States, he joined Universal from 1938 to 1946, producing "B" movies and serials, including entries in the "Dick Tracy" and "Sherlock Holmes" series. He held comparable roles at RKO between 1947 and 1948 and at United Artists from 1951 to 1953, before moving into television drama production.
