James Joseph Flood (July 31, 1895 – February 5, 1953) was an American film director.
Born in New York City, Flood became an assistant director with Biograph in 1912[1] and was active through 1952.
When working on The Swellhead, Flood decided he wanted to change a scene.
He told his plan to actor James Gleason who was also an accomplished playwright and he re-wrote the scene.
Actress Marion Shilling then had to quickly learn and execute the new dialogue.
