Biography
David Landau spent three decades treading the boards before a camera ever loved him. Born in Philadelphia, he logged twelve Broadway plays, honing a voice like a cello and a stare that could indict mere mortals. At fifty-something he stormed Hollywood, carving out a niche as the judge you wouldn’t trust, the banker ready to foreclose on Christmas, the cop on the take—thirty-three times in just four feverish years, 1931 to 1934.
