description: "Nicholas Ray was an American film director, screenwriter, and actor. Described by the Harvard Film Archive as \"Hollywood's last romantic\" and \"one of postwar American cinema's supremely gifted and ultimately tragic filmmakers,\" Ray was considered an iconoclastic auteur director who often clashed with the Hollywood studio system of the time, but would prove highly influential to future generations of filmmakers."
