Nunnally Hunter Johnson was an American filmmaker who wrote, produced, and directed motion pictures. Before going into movie business, he worked as a journalist.
Background
Johnson was born on December 5, 1897, in Columbus, Georgia, the son of James Nunnally Johnson, a mechanic who later headed the Columbus pipe and sheet metal department of the Central of Georgia Railroad, and Johnnie Pearl Patrick. Johnson did not use his middle name in his professional life.
Career
After serving as a second lieutenant in the cavalry in World War I, Johnson worked for the Enquirer Sun in Columbus. Late in 1919 he moved to New York City, where he wrote for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the New York Evening Post, and the New York Herald Tribune. At the same time he was publishing short stories, most notably in the American Mercury, the Smart Set, and the Saturday Evening Post; one of them was adapted for the silent screen as Rough House Rosie (1927). In 1930 he published a collection of his short stories, There Ought to Be a Law.
Although the adaptation of his Saturday Evening Post story gave Johnson a screen credit before he ever saw Hollywood, his official film career began in 1932, when he went to Hollywood as a writer. His first film was an adaptation called A Bedtime Story (1933), for which he did not receive a screen credit. The unusual pattern of his later career was established within the next two years, when he began to serve first as associate producer and then as producer on projects that he had written. For the next forty years, he produced nearly all of his films, wrote seventy-seven of them, and occasionally directed them as well. Johnson was known for a relentless professionalism that became a bankable asset for the movie studios and moguls with whom he was associated.
After writing both The House of Rothschild and Kid Millions in 1934, Johnson wrote Thanks a Million (1935), which was Twentieth Century-Fox's second film and a box office smash that made the studio financially solvent. Johnson worked for Fox from then on. This association provided his initial and later collaborations with director John Ford, but Johnson's range extended well beyond John Ford Westerns to include costume dramas, comedy, war films, and suspense thrillers. Johnson's 1930's output concluded with Prisoner of Shark Island (1936), Rose of Washington Square (1939), and Jesse James (1939), all of which he wrote and produced. At the start of the 1940's there was a quantum leap in the already high quality of Johnson's productions with The Grapes of Wrath (1940) and Tobacco Road (1941), both directed by John Ford. During that decade he also produced such film noir classics as The Woman in the Window (1944) and The Dark Mirror (1946), as well as Life Begins at Eight-thirty (1942), The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), Along Came Jones (1945), and The Senator Was Indiscreet (1947). In the 1950's and 1960's, Johnson's films displayed maturity, confidence, and consolidation. After producing the memorable films The Gunfighter (1950) and How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), Johnson wrote and directed The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956), a film that epitomized the zeitgeist of the decade. A year later he wrote, directed, and produced one of his greatest films, The Three Faces of Eve. In the 1960's, Johnson returned solely to writing with Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation (1962), Take Her, She's Mine (1963), The World of Henry Orient (1964), and The Dirty Dozen (1967). Although none of these projects brought Johnson his own Academy Award, he may fairly be said to have provided the armature for the academy's recognition of others: John Ford and Jane Darwell for The Grapes of Wrath and Joanne Woodward for The Three Faces of Eve. He died in Los Angeles on March 25, 1977.

Personality
John Houseman described Johnson as "both a successful film writer and one of the handful of educated WASPs on whom Darryl Zanuck counted to write, produce, and, occasionally, direct the more sophisticated items in his vast annual output of motion pictures. "
Connections
Johnson was married in 1919 to Alice Love Mason, an editor at the Brooklyn Daily Eagle; they had one child. In March 1927, he married Marion Byrnes, also of the Eagle staff; they had one child. These in-house marriages, both of which ended in divorce, were a source of considerable amusement among Johnson's coworkers.
On February 4, 1940, Johnson married Dorris Bowdon, an actress; they had three children.
