- Director

Boston-born Herbert Strock's introduction to the movie business was as
director of the Fox Newsreel crew, visiting Hollywood stars in their
homes. After serving with the Ordnance Motion Picture Division, he
found employment as an editor at MGM and later moved into the infant
medium of TV, producing and directing The Cases of Eddie Drake (1952), the first-ever motion
picture film to become a network series. Strock made the transition to
feature film directing in 1953, when (in the midst of production) he
took over direction of the SF thriller The Magnetic Monster (1953) from Curt Siodmak. Today he
operates his own post-production facilities.
