Who was Felix E. Feist?

Felix Ellison Feist was a film and television director born in New York City.

Feist was the son of a MGM sales executive, Felix F. Feist, and nephew of a publishing house magnate, Leo Feist. He was educated at Columbia University.

He is probably best remembered for Deluge, for writing and directing the film noirs The Devil Thumbs a Ride and The Threat, and for helming the second screen version of the Curt Siodmak sci-fi tale Donovan's Brain, which starred Nancy Davis before she became Nancy Reagan.

He directed Judy Garland and Deanna Durbin in their first significant screen appearances, in the 1936 short film Every Sunday.

Feist was the adoptive father of noted fantasy author Raymond E. Feist.
