William Beaudine Facts

Beaudine worked almost exclusively on low-budget quickies, and rarely would shoot a scene a second time--even if there was a minor (or in some cases, not so minor) gaffe in the scene. Because of this, he earned the nickname "One-Shot" Beaudine.

In 1947 Beaudine was hired to direct a religious-themed film for the Protestant Film Commission. It was successful and they were so impressed with his work they hired him on a regular basis, and from 1947 to 1955 he directed 10 more films for the organization--an evangelical Christian group--all of which were designed to spread the word of God and try to convert non-believers to Christianity. Ironically, Beaudine himself was an atheist.
