Otto Preminger<\/a>, whose films include Anatomy of a Murder, Laura, and the controversial The Moon is Blue, was trained as an attorney in his native Austria.

Let my people go!”<\/p>\n

David Merrick<\/a> (born David Margulois) earned a law degree from St. Louis University before moving on to produce such hits as The Male Animal and Fanny.<\/p>\n
