Richard Owen Fleischer (; December 8, 1916 – March 25, 2006) was an American film director whose career spanned more than four decades, beginning at the height of the Golden Age of Hollywood and lasting through the American New Wave.Though he directed films across many genres and styles, he is best known for his big-budget, "tentpole" films, including: ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' (1954), ''The Vikings'' (1958), ''Barabbas'' (1961), ''Fantastic Voyage'' (1966), the musical film ''Doctor Dolittle'' (1967), the war epic ''Tora! Tora! Tora!'' (1970), the dystopian mystery-thriller ''Soylent Green'' (1973), the controversial period drama ''Mandingo'' (1975), and the Robert E. Howard sword-and-sorcery films ''Conan the Destroyer'' (1984) and ''Red Sonja'' (1985). His other directorial credits include the Academy Award-winning documentary ''Design for Death'' (1947), the gritty noir ''The Narrow Margin'' (1952), the true-crime dramas ''Compulsion'' (1959), ''The Boston Strangler'' (1968) and ''10 Rillington Place'' (1971), the mob action film ''The Don Is Dead'' (1973), the swashbuckler ''The Prince and the Pauper'' (1977), the 1980 remake of ''The Jazz Singer'' and the horror sequel ''Amityville 3-D'' (1983).
Fleischer worked with many of the top Hollywood stars of his time, including: Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, James Mason, Robert Wagner, Tony Curtis, Louis Jourdan, Jean Hagen, Victor Mature, Richard Egan, Ray Milland, Farley Granger, Orson Welles, Diane Varsi, Anthony Quinn, Stephen Boyd, Rex Harrison, Anthony Newley, Mia Farrow, George C. Scott, Charles Bronson, Richard Attenborough, Charlton Heston, Lee Marvin, Glenda Jackson, Eddie Deezen and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was noted for his versatility, able to work in almost any genre under wildly varying conditions and budgets, making him a popular and prolific choice for producers. Though Fleischer was never considered an auteur and was not a highly acclaimed artist, many of his films proved very financially and critically successful, winning accolades and being some of the highest-grossing features of their respective release years.
