Browning's Life in Film and Television

Browning retired in the early 19 forties when he was just in his mid fifties. He had been let go by m g m, and he did not move on to another studio. After alice wilson died after that point, he became even more reclusive. His veterinarian whom he had become friends with, harold snow, was so dismayed at browning's level of grief that he gave the aging director another puppy. Browning never wanted to discuss his film career, and he would actually get kind of angry if anyone asked him about it. But he did seem to grow a little less bristly in the last period of his life.
