약력

John Boulting (full name John Edward Boulting) and his twin brother Roy Boulting (full name Roy Alfred Clarence Boulting), were two very important persons in the British film industry from the 1940s and well into the 1970s. They worked very closely together with a joint production company, Charter Film Productions, which they set up in 1937, taking turn directing and producing their films. In 1955 they were both also appointed directors of the newly formed British Lion Films, after Alexander Korda's company with the same name had gone into receivership, and they managed to make it into a very successful independent distribution company, standing up against the enormous Rank Organisation and the big Hollywood studios, which moved into the British film distribution market after World War II.

Rotten to the Core
Director
Rogues Jelly Knight, Scapa Flood, and Lennie the Dip leave prison expecting boss The Duke to have their stash ready to share out. Instead, Duke's girl Sara gives them the news Duke is dead and the money gone on nursing care. They soon discover that Duke is actually running Hope Springs Nature Clinic with the help of most of the local villains. Very strange - and the nearby army camp and Sara's encouragement of Lieutenant Vine would seem to be no coincidence either. Written by Jeremy Perkins
Heavens Above!
Producer
A naive but caring prison chaplain, who happens to have the same last name as an upper class cleric, is by mistake appointed as vicar to a small and prosperous country town. His belief in charity and forgiveness sets him at odds with the conservative and narrow-minded locals, and he soon creates social ructions by appointing a black dustman as his churchwarden, taking in a gypsy family, and persuading the local landowner to provide free food for the church to distribute free to the people of the town. When the congregation leaders realise the mistake and call for the Church of England to remove him, this turns out to be a very, very difficult issue - until one clergyman realises that a British project to send a man into space is in need of an astronaut...

Lucky Jim
Director
Jim Dixon feels anything but lucky. At the university he has to do the bidding of absent-minded and boring Professor Welch to have any hope of keeping his job.

His misery is completed at a dreadful weekend gathering of the Welch clan by the arrival of son Bertrand. Not so much that Betrand is loud-mouthed and boorish - which he is - but that he has as companion Christine Callaghan, the sort of marvellous and unattainable woman Jim can only dream about.

Director
1947년 영국의 한 휴양도시 브라이튼을 배경으로 실제 갱단 두목의 이야 기를 그린 (브라이튼 룩)은 차가운 시선을 가진 갱스터영화의 고전이다. 특히 롤러코스터에서의 끔찍한 살인을 아무런 주관적인 감정을 넣지 않고그려내, 묘한 서스펜스를 느끼게 해준다. 그렇지만 더욱 놀라운 것은 이 두목이 어른이 아닌 어린 나이의 청소년이라는 점이다. 우리에게 (간디)로 익숙한 리처드 아텐보로는 양심이라고는 찾아 볼 수 없는 냉혈한 캐릭터의 어린 갱두목 핑키 역을 훌륭하게 소화해내 주목을 끌었다.데일리 메신서의 대표 키버는 카드를 숨겨두고 이것을 찾는 자에게 상금 을 주겠다고 말한다. 어린 갱 두목 핑키는 놀이 동산에서 카드를 가지고 있던 프레드를 무자비하게 살해한다. 그리고 이 카드를 스파이서에게 숨겨두라고 명령한다.

Thunder Rock
Producer
David Charleston, once a world renowned journalist, now lives alone maintaining the Thunder Rock lighthouse in Lake Michigan. He doesn't cash his paychecks and has no contact other than the monthly inspector's visit. When alone, he imagines conversations with those who died when a 19th century packet ship with some 60 passengers sank. He imagines their lives, their problems, their fears and their hopes. In one of these conversations, he recalls his own efforts in the 1930s when he desperately tried to convince first his editors, and later the public, of the dangers of fascism and the inevitability of war. Few would listen. One of the passengers, a spinster, tells her story of seeking independence from a world dominated by men. There's also the case of a doctor who is banished for using unacceptable methods. David has given up on life, but the imaginary passengers give him hope for the future.
