Sam Newfield, born Samuel Neufeld (December 6, 1899 – November 10, 1964), also known as Sherman Scott or Peter Stewart, was an American director, one of the most prolific in American film history—he is credited with directing over 250 feature films in a career which began during the silent era and ended in 1958.
[5] Because of this massive output—he would sometimes direct more than 20 films in a single year—he has been called the most prolific director of the sound era.
It was a film production company headed by his brother Sigmund Neufeld.
Sam Newfield was credited as Sherman Scott and Peter Stewart on a number of films he made for the PRC.
He used these names in order to hide the fact that one person was responsible for so many of PRC's films.
