​From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alfred L. Werker (December 2, 1896 – July 28, 1975) was a film director whose work in movies spanned from 1917 through 1957. After a number of film production jobs and assistant directing, Werker co-directed his first film, Ridin' the Wind in 1925 alongside director Del Andrews. He was brought in by Fox Film Corporation executives to re-shoot and re-edit Erich von Stroheim's film Hello, Sister! (1933), co-starring Boots Mallory and ZaSu Pitts. Most of Werker's work is unremarkable, but a few were well received by critics. Those films included House of Rothschild (1934) and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939); the latter film is considered one of the best in the Sherlock Holmes series. During the early 1940s, he directed a number of comedies including Laurel & Hardy's A-Haunting We Will Go (1942). In the late 1940s, Werker worked for the B-picture film studio Eagle-Lion Films. Notable films from that period include the unique mystery thriller Repeat Performance and He Walked by Night. The latter film, however, was taken over by uncredited director Anthony Mann. Werker was nominated in 1949 for the Locarno International Film Festival's Best Police Film category for He Walked By Night (1948) and won. The following year, Alfred was nominated for the Directors Guild of America Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures for Lost Boundaries (1949) but was unsuccessful.

阿尔弗雷德·L·沃克(1896年12月2日—1975年7月28日)是一位电影导演,其电影生涯横跨1917年至1957年。在从事多项电影制作及助理导演工作后,沃克于1925年与导演德尔·安德鲁斯联合执导了他的首部电影《御风而行》。他曾受福克斯电影公司高管委托,对埃里希·冯·斯特罗海姆执导、布茨·马洛里和扎苏·皮茨联袂主演的电影《你好,姐姐!》(1933年)进行补拍与重新剪辑。沃克的大部分作品反响平平,但仍有几部获得评论界好评,其中包括《罗思柴尔德家族》(1934年)和《福尔摩斯探案集》(1939年)——后者被公认为福尔摩斯系列电影中的佳作。1940年代初期,他执导了多部喜剧片,包括劳莱与哈代主演的《鬼影擒凶》(1942年)。1940年代末,沃克为B级片制片厂鹰狮影业工作,该时期的代表作包括风格独特的悬疑惊悚片《重演》与《夜行客》,不过《夜行客》最终由未挂名导演安东尼·曼接手完成。1949年,沃克凭《夜行客》(1948年)荣获洛迦诺国际电影节最佳警匪片奖项提名并成功获奖。次年,他因《丢失的边界》(1949年)获得美国导演工会电影类杰出导演成就奖提名,但未能获奖。
