Samuel Grosvenor "Sam" Wood, nado en Filadelfia (Pensilvania) o 10 de xullo de 1884 e finado en Hollywood (California) o 22 de setembro de 1949, foi un director e produtor cinematográfico estadounidense.
Traxectoria
Wood comezou a súa carreira como actor[1] e traballou como axudante de Cecil B. De Mille en 1915. Traballou como director durante a década de 1920 dirixindo algunhas das estrelas de Paramount Pictures, como Gloria Swanson e Wallace Reid. En 1927 entrou na Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, onde traballou con Marion Davies, Clark Gable, Marie Dressler, e Jimmy Durante.[2] Na década de 1940, Wood dirixiu a Ginger Rogers no filme polo que gañou o Oscar á mellor actriz, Kitty Foyle (1940).
Wood faleceu dun ataque ao corazón en Hollywood, aos 65 anos.
Críticas
Wood era ideoloxicamente conservador e en 1947 testificou perante o House Un-American Activities Committee. Groucho Marx, que traballou con Wood en Unha noite na ópera e A Day at the Races, chamou a Wood "fascista"[3] e alporizouse polos comentarios racistas de Wood contra os afroamericanos.[4]
