Thomas Leo McCarey was an American film director, screenwriter and producer, born in Los Angeles on 3 October 1898 and died on 5 July 1969. He was involved in nearly 200 films, including the critically acclaimed Duck Soup, Make Way for Tomorrow, The Awful Truth, Going My Way, The Bells of St. Mary's, My Son John and An Affair to Remember. Nine of his films were selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, and while focusing mainly on screwball comedies during the 1930s he turned towards more socially conscious and overtly religious films during the 1940s.
