Nick Grinde

Nick Grinde's career lasted from the late 1920s to the mid-'40s, but his heyday was the mid to late 1930s.

Grinde was one of the journeyman directors (such as Lesley Selander, George Sherman, Lew Landers, etc.) who made the "B" pictures that everybody enjoyed at a Saturday matinée, but whose name no one would recognize.

While none of Grinde's pictures were particularly memorable, they encompassed all genres, from horror to musicals to comedies and even a western or two, but he was especially adept at crime and action dramas--he turned out a number of tight, fast-moving little pictures of that type for Warner Bros.
