Harmon Jones started his career as a film editor at 20th Century-Fox, where he was entrusted with many of the studio's top projects (Gentleman's Agreement (1947), Sitting Pretty (1948), Anna and the King of Siam (1946)), but when he turned to directing feature films, his output was far less impressive. After handling mostly low-grade westerns and tepid thrillers, Jones turned to directing TV series in the 1950s, and ended his career there in the 1960s.
