- Director
- Editor
- Editorial Department
Virgil W. Vogel began his career at Universal in 1940 as an assistant
editor. He worked as an editor for many years, although by the mid-'50s
he had begun to tire of the job and pressed Universal executive Edward Muhl
for a shot at directing. Vogel was handed Le peuple de l'enfer (1956) with John Agar, and his
capable handling of that film led to other assignments at the studio.
Vogel later directed many made-for-television movies as well as
episodes of TV's Bonanza (1959), La grande caravane (1957), M Squad (1957), L'homme qui valait 3 milliards (1974), Mission impossible (1966), Code Quantum (1989),
Spenser (1985) and many others.
