Happy 96th Birthday Bert I. Gordon!!! 
Born on September 24, 1922 in Kenosha, Wisconsin
Thanks for the Monsters, so far...
American director most famous for such science fiction and horror B-movies as The Amazing Colossal Man 1957 and Village of the Giants 1965. Most of Gordon's work is in the idiom of giant monster films, for which he used rear-projection to create the special effects. His nickname "Mister B.I.G." is a reference both to his initials and to his preferred technique for making super-sized creatures.
Bert I. Gordon has the distinction, dubious though it may be, of having the most movies shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Bert began making home movies in 16mm after his aunt gave him a camera for his 13th birthday. He dropped out of college to join the Air Corps in World War II. After the war, he married and he and his wife began making television commercials. He later edited British feature films to fit half-hour time slots and became a production assistant on Racket Squad 1951 - 1953.
Since 1954 he has directed, written and produced movies for special tastes.
