Yes, indeed. Although he was often seen as somewhat of an old fart, he was certainly one of kind, and remember he directed "Death Wish" ! I thought he was quite fun.


"The director had experienced a run of ill-health since eating a bad oyster on holiday"

"Later, he picked up the E coli virus from a steak tartare, "

So maybe eating is bad for you ?

 . . . or maybe "expensive" eating is bad for you    ???

''Parking isn't expensive in London, you can park anywhere for £60''
I remember him saying this when asked about driving around London, it always made me laugh. He was a great character!

He also gave Olly Reid a break or two ...... he was about the only director that had any kind of faith in him (despite his drink problem  ::) ;))
