Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. This is a Near Fine Copy of this Book in a Near Fine Dust-Jacket,with NO chips or tears to the outer edges of the dust wrapper.Not price clipped.This copy was acquired from the impressive private library of Roy Ward Baker and this copy has his name to the front endpaper.Roy Ward Baker who started in the film industry as a tea boy and his first jobs were menial,but by 1938 he had risen to the level of as assistant director on Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (1938).He served in the Army during World War II, transferring to the Army Kinematograph Unit in 1943. One of his superiors at the time was novelist Eric Ambler who insisted on Baker being given his first big break directing The October Man, from an Ambler screenplay, in 1947.Ambler also adapted Walter Lord's A Night to Remember for Baker's 1958 screen version.His next two films, The Weaker Sex (1948) and Paper Orchid (1949) were popular but overshadowed by the success of Morning Departure (1950), also featuring John Mills.Morning Departure drew international attention to Baker's talent and prompted Darryl Zanuck, production head of 20th Century Fox,to invite him to Hollywood, though his first film for the company was made in the UK.During the early 1950s, Baker worked for three years at Fox where he directed Marilyn Monroe in Don't Bother to Knock (1952) and Robert Ryan in the 3D film noir Inferno (1953). He returned to the UK in 1953 and continued to work on films.He worked for television during the 1960s.
