Will Jason first came to Hollywood as a teenager, laboring away in various industry jobs before settling down as a musical composer and arranger. In 1944, Jason launched his directorial career at Columbia Pictures' "B" unit. He was responsible for such lively low-budget musicals as Eve Knew Her Apples (1944) and such tense studio-bound melodramas as Blonde Alibi (1945). He evinced traces of a personal style in the fog-shrouded horror quickie Soul of a Monster (1944) and the amiable semi-documentary The Harlem Globetrotters (1950). Having directed his first film at Columbia, Will Jason helmed his last -- Thief of Damascus (1952) -- at the same studio.
