Not a director, but producer Val Lewton was given (from RKO) a budget, a time
frame, and a title: Cat People. The production was completed on time and under
budget, and earned a lot of money for the studio.
I'm sure there are likely to be other examples, though.

As to Patrick's question, I can't remember the name of the director that
Patrick is referring to in the 40s but I'm sure someone on this list will
have the answer.
