- Czechoslovakian-born Jack Garfein survived imprisonment in the Auschwitz concentration camp during WW2 and came to the US at age 15. After a few years of college, he became a stage actor, then a director. After his Broadway directorial debut in 1953, he joined the Actors Studio, and married one of his fellow students, Carroll Baker. Although Garfein directed a number of TV shows and numerous Broadway plays, his film output has been minimal, with only three films since 1957. One of them was Something Wild (1961) starring his wife, an offbeat little film about a rape victim's growing relationship with a man who rescues her from a suicide attempt, then imprisons her in his basement apartment, hoping that she will fall in love with him.
