Charles H. Schneer
, 1920 - 2009
Charles H. Schneer was an American film producer. Born in Virginia, he began working in film at Columbia in 1939 as an assistant, before producing training films for the US Army Signal Corps Photographic Unit as part of his wartime service. He then returned to Columbia as a producer. Schneer is best known as a long-time collaborator of Ray Harryhausen; their first film together was It Came From Beneath the Sea in 1955. In the late 1950s, Schneer co-founded and became the president of Morningside Productions, through which he produced several films with Harryhausen, including Jason and the Argonauts (1963). Schneer retired in the 1980s due to the rise of computer-generated special effects. He died in 2009.
