“Tay Garnett… was thin, laughing, rugged-featured. Like Hitchcock, his film career began in title-writing for silent films. As nearly all his colleagues of the Silents, he was athletic, a flyer, an adventurer, like them, he was an intellectual without wanting to be.”
François Truffaut
“Tay blarneyed himself into… a job writing titles for silent slapstick comedies at the Hal Roach Studio. His titles got so many laughs he graduated into a Mack Sennett gagman. And that’s where Tay and I met…
There are many ways two people can size each other up: ride out an artillery barrage together in a fox hole, play two rounds of golf, or team up as gagmen at Mack Sennett’s. Tay was not only witty, he was also a most likable companion – the kind that wears well…
Directing films is… what he was born for.”
Frank Capra
“He was a character. He was a great practical joker and a great fellow to work with. There was always something amusing going on, which transmitted itself to the company. The company was always a happy company.”
Ralph Bellamy
Tay Garnett’s Hollywood career began with the birth of the Motion Picture industry and endured nearly sixty years. He began as a title writer at the Mack Sennett Studios, writing for the greats of the silent era, including Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon, Will Rogers, Laurel & Hardy. It was during these early days that Tay discovered a knack for storytelling and soon became known as a “script doctor” for ailing screenplays.
He directed many silent shorts, but his first full-length feature was “Celebrity,” shot at Pathé Studios in 1928. Later that same year, he filmed “The Spieler.” Halfway through the shoot, the first sound equipment arrived on the set and the previously silent film began to talk. When “The Spieler” was released, weaker audience members undoubtedly suffered seizures, strokes and coronaries when the previously mute characters found speech with a sudden, ungodly screech. (Mercifully, “The Spieler” was eventually released as a silent picture.)
Over the course of a dizzying career, Tay worked with or knew every major star of the era and fought with many a studio head. He gave Marilyn Monroe her first, speaking screen role (“The Fireball,” with Mickey Rooney), cast Humphrey Bogart in an atypical, sympathetic, leading role (“Stand-In”), had a close friendship with Greer Garson, a drinking relationship with Spencer Tracy and a passionate affair with Rhonda Fleming. On presenting Marlene Dietrich with the as yet unknown John Wayne, Dietrich’s famous response was, “Daddy, buy me that!” Tay was also among those assembled at a commissary lunch table when Papa Joe Kennedy announced, “One of my sons is going to be President of the United States. I haven’t yet decided which one.”
Tay was a multi-talented man’s man – a circus acrobat and cartoonist in his early youth, a Naval Air pilot in World War I and skipper of his own yacht, “The Athene,” in which he circled the globe with his second wife, Helga Moray. During that trip, he shot scenic footage around the world, which he processed in a lab onboard ship. At the top of his game, he earned fame and fortune working for every major studio of the day, saving them vast sums of money by rescuing plot-weak and floundering films and bringing in numerous pictures in record time and well under budget. (“Cause for Alarm,” with Loretta Young, he shot in an unheard of eleven days.)
He was a man of many talents, who worked hard and lived hard. His life was full of drastic highs and lows… a flying accident that resulted in a lifelong limp, three marriages, two offspring, a fire that burned his beloved but uninsured ranch house to the ground, a bout with alcoholism and more than its share of ironies. Tay had been, by his own admission, “several times a millionaire,” losing fortunes through carelessness, personal excess and at least one, thieving business manager. He was awarded a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, but never an Oscar. On the advice of his agent, he credited his screenplay for “One Way Passage” to another writer, who ended up receiving the award.
Clearly, Tay’s business decisions were not always on target. He turned down an offer to direct a Broadway show that became a long-running hit, as well as refusing all initial offers to work in the new medium of television. But when the money ran out and he needed to feed his family, Tay launched a late, second career, eventually directing countless episodes of “Wagon Train,” “Gunsmoke,” “Death Valley Days,” “Bonanza,” “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies,” “The Untouchables,” and many others.
Although Garnett’s intention above all was to entertain, his films covered a vast range of theme, style and mood. There were star-driven blockbusters like “China Seas” and “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,” war stories like “Bataan,” socially conscious pieces like “Stand-In” and “The Night Fighters,” tear-jerkers like “Professional Soldier,” and frothy laugh-fests like “My Favorite Spy.” And here and there, was a masterpiece or two. It is impossible to discuss film noir, for example, without mentioning Tay’s name or to Google the term without stumbling onto the image of the gorgeous Lana Turner, sexy and white clad in the classic, “The Postman Always Rings Twice.”
Tay Garnett wrote several books during his lifetime: a novel, Man Laughs Back; a collection of Hollywood anecdotes, Tall Tales From Hollywood; and an autobiographical memoir, Light Your Torches and Pull Up Your Tights. The final project of Tay’s life was a textbook, inspired by the death of John Ford whom he considered the finest American director. Tay chastised himself for not having picked Ford’s brain to unlock the secrets to this great filmmaker’s success and, as a consequence, set about drafting a thorough questionnaire covering all aspects of filmmaking, which he distributed to the greatest filmmakers of the era in countries around the globe. Forty-two directors responded and their answers were presented in a posthumous book called “Learn from the Masters,” which was published in the United States and in France.
Tay died in Los Angeles on October 3rd, 1977 at the age of 83.
