Canadian film and television director (1928–1989) who directed Mudd's Women, the early original Star Trek episode that introduced the roguish trader Harry Mudd.
Harvey Hart was a Canadian director who made his name in drama at the CBC before moving to Hollywood in the 1960s, where he worked on series and features, later returning to Canada to make films such as The Pyx.
His one Star Trek episode is Mudd's Women, among the first to be filmed after the two pilots. The Enterprise rescues Harcourt Fenton Mudd and three uncannily alluring women he intends to sell as wives to lonely miners, while the ship's lithium crystals burn out one by one.
The episode established Roger C. Carmel's Mudd as the series' first recurring guest character. Hart did not direct for the series again.
