About this Item

Rilla, W. P. Greek chorus : a novel. First edition. London: Secker & Warburg, June 1947. Hardback, VG, in clipped dustjacket held in protective transparent sleeve. Tan cloth with white lettering and banding to spine. Binding strong. 255pp., contents clean and bright. Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1920, Wolf Rilla was the son of German actor Walter Rilla. When Nazi leader Adolf Hitler came to power, the elder Rilla, who was Jewish, moved his family to London. After completing his education, Wolf went to work for the BBC World Review in 1942, and in the late 1940s transferred to the network's newly created television service. He stayed there for a few years, but his passion was for films, and in 1952 he struck out on his own, making his debut as a writer/director with Glad Tidings! (1953). After making several more independent low-budget features, he hooked up with Group 3, a production company formed by Michael Balcon, John Baxter and John Grierson. His first film for them was The End of the Road (1954), with Finlay Currie. His next film for the company, The Blue Peter (1955), about a shell-shocked war veteran, garnered positive critical reviews, and his later comedy Bachelor of Hearts (1958) was a box-office success. In 1960 Rilla, who by this time was working for MGM's British operation, directed what would become his best-known film, the tense and chilling Village of the Damned (1960), based on John Wyndham's novel "The Midwich Cuckoos", a tale of a sinister group of alien children taking over a small British town.
