Beaudine worked almost exclusively on low-budget quickies, and rarely would hurtle a row a right hand time--even if there was a minor (or in some cases, not so minor) gaffe in the location. Because of this, he earned the moniker "One-Encouragement" Beaudine.
He directed over half of the Bowery Boys films.
He became a master of the system of "editing in the camera." Instead of shooting highest coverage of scenes, he would shoot only what he knew was absolutely life-or-death. This saved both production convenience life and fresh stock, an important intermediary at the Beggary Row studios where he worked.
... In 1947 Beaudine was hired to instruct a religious-themed murkiness in search the Protestant Fog Commission. It was successful and they were so impressed with his come out all right they hired him on a continuous basis, and from 1947 to 1955 he directed 10 more films since the organization--an evangelical Christian group--all of which were designed to spread the word of Demigod and adjudge to convert non-believers to Christianity. Ironically, Beaudine himself was an atheist.
He and top banana James Flood had been friends since they grew up as children in the changeless neighborhood in Novel York Borough. In fact, Flood's wife was the sister of Beaudine's wife.
Father of Helen Beaudine, Margaret Beaudine.
