This book traces the career of Roy Ward Baker, one of the great
survivors of the British film and television industry. He directed
the landmark British film "Morning Departure "(1949), worked at
Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood in the early 1950s where he
directed Marilyn Monroe, and the best version of the Titanic
disaster, "A Night to Remember" in 1958. He then moved to
television series such as "The Avengers," "The Saint" and "Minder."
Later Baker re-emerged as a major director of science-fiction
("Quatermass and The P"it) and horror films ("Asylum"). Geoff Mayer
provides an industrial and aesthetic context in which to understand
the interrelationship between a skilled classical director and the
transformation of the British film industry in the 1950s.
