Brown is a six-time Oscar nominee and the only filmmaker in the world with so many nominations to have never received a single statuette.
Brown's style seemed deceptively simple, but the ease was the result of tremendous care. As a director, Brown was concerned not only with acting, but lighting, editing, storytelling - every detail of the film making process. The situations of his films, in which he achieved a strong naturalism, were always convincing. According to Brown himself, he owed all this to the filmmaker Maurice Tourneur, who paved the way for him in cinema.
