Personal Quote:

I wish Luis Buñuel had made Los Olvidados (1950) before I made Knock on Any Door (1949), because I would have made a hell of a lot better movie. See more »

Trivia:

Of his own films, his personal favorite was Rebel Without a Cause (1955), which is also easily his most commercially successful film. Ray was also proud of his work on They Live by Night (1948), and the fact that he had been able to "wing it" on The Lusty Men (1952). He admitted that In a Lonely Place (1950) was "a very personal film". See more »

Trademark:

His protagonists were usually troubled loners who cannot fit in with society, and his films greatly sympathize with them. See more »
