He worked with Cukor again in 1950 on Born Yesterday and then tried his hand at directing on several TV series, including Gunsmoke. He was nominated for a third time in 1969 for Sydney Pollack's 30s drama They Shoot Horses, Don't They . Horner directed a few films beginning with Red Planet Mars and Beware, My Lovely both in 1952.
