Simon Wexler 
      American filmmaker (b. Oct. 6, 1916, New York, N.Y.—d. March 10, 2005, Los Angeles, Calif.), produced more than 300 training, educational, and documentary films for students and physicians during the 1950s and '60s. While serving as a cameraman in the Army Signal Corps during World War II, Wexler worked with director Frank Capra on the documentary series Why We Fight and Know Your Enemy. Following the war he and Bob Churchill established Churchill/Wexler Film Productions, which produced classroom films that illustrated complex biological processes such as animal cognition in Squeak the Squirrel (1957) and protein metabolism in How a Hamburger Turns into You; sensitive topics, such as sex education, were also presented. After launching his own company in 1961, Wexler produced award-winning medical-training films for physicians and professionals in the pharmaceutical and medical-equipment industries.
