Alfred Edward Green (July 11, 1889 – September 4, 1960) was an American film director.
[1] Green entered film in 1912 as an actor for the Selig Polyscope Company.
In a durable career lasting until the 1950s, Green directed major stars such as Mary Pickford, Wallace Reid, Barbara Stanwyck, William Powell, and Colleen Moore.
In 1935, Green directed Dangerous, starring Bette Davis, who won Best Actress for her performance.
Much later came Green's hit success The Jolson Story (1946) and the affectionate western Four Faces West (1948), known outside the US by the more expressive title They Passed This Way.
