Terry O. Morse

Visionary director of the mid-twentieth century, Terry O. Morse was born in 1906 in the bustling city of Chicago, United States. Morse's directing career blossomed between the 1940s and 1960s, primarily in the realms of drama, mystery, and science fiction; his most notable works include 'The Devil Bat' and 'My Friend Irma Goes West', as well as the American version of 'Godzilla'.
