Description
William Beaudine was an experienced film director who worked in the British film industry for over 60 years. He was successful in directing comedies and amassed a large personal fortune. However, his career declined in the late 1960s and he died in 1978.
In his unsurpassed employment of 60 years in the business, Beaudine racked up more than 500 films and in excess of 350 television programs. Until his death at age 78, he was the oldest active director in the business. This detailed biography chronicles Beaudine's swift rise through the ranks, his triumph as one of the most successful directors of British comedies, his accumulation and loss of personal fortunes, his fall from fame, and his prolific work in television.
