John Berry (September 6, 1917 – November 29, 1999) was an American film director, who went into self-exile in France when his career was interrupted by the Hollywood blacklist.
John Berry was born Jak Szold in the Bronx, New York, the son of a Polish Jewish father and a Romanian mother. He began his entertainment career by as a child performer in vaudeville, first going on stage at the age of 4. In his teens, he briefly worked as a boxer under the name Jackie Sold. Berry's father was a restaurateur, and at one point he owned 28 restaurants around New York City. His father went out of business during the Great Depression, and Berry sought to support himself by working as a comedian and actor.
His first big break came when he was hired by the Mercury Theater for a presentation of Julius Caesar that was produced by John Houseman and directed by Orson Welles. Berry acted in other roles with the theater and assisted Welles in directing the 1942 production of Native Son. In a late-life interview with the New York Times, Berry spoke positively of his association with Welles and Houseman. "It was like living near the center of a volcano of creating inspiration and fury, glamorous and exciting, full of the kind of theatricality that seems lost forever," he said.

Genres: Comedy,When she drives away when she takes that turn I know she'll be gone
And she won't look back so she'll never know this time she was wrong
I tried all night long but nothing I said
Would make her turn east when she's headed west
But I'd give her my hand I'd give her my heart
I'd give her my coat when the cold weather starts
I'd spend every dollar I got on a diamond ring
I'd give her my dreams fulfilled or undone
And pull down the stars in the sky one by one
But she won't settle for everything
If it's somewhere else always someone new then the locking's what you love
And you're sure to find a lonely life if you look long enough
I can still taste goodbye in that last tender kiss wondering why it ended like this
I'd give her my hand...
There's nothing on earth no more I can say her love may be gone it faded away
I'd give her my hand...
