Biography

Edward F. Cline was an American director, screenwriter and actor who worked mostly in comedy and was best known for his films with Buster Keaton and W.C. Fields. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, he started at Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios in 1914, supporting Charlie Chaplin in early shorts. Keaton hired him as co-director once he began making his own films, and the two were the only regular gag men on those shorts; Cline also co-directed Keaton's first feature, Three Ages (1923). His association with Fields opened with Million Dollar Legs (1932) and continued through My Little Chickadee (1940), The Bank Dick (1940) and Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941). He directed Wheeler and Woolsey comedies at RKO and later musical comedies at Universal, staged the Broadway productions Laffing Room Only in 1944 and Heads or Tails in 1947, and worked in television before his death in 1961.
