Biography:A most prolific filmmaker, Italy's "Antonio Margheriti" changed his name to "Anthony M. Dawson" and was also occasionally billed as "Anthony Daisies." Best known for his "Mario Bava" imitations ("Horror Castle"), his James Bond rip-offs ("Lightning Bolt"), his Disney-esque "Mr. Superinvisible" (1970), his "Jaws" clone "Killer Fish" (1979) and his Schwarzenegger wannabe "The Commander" (1988); he also directed such Italian pictures as "Wild, Wild Planet" (1963) and "Hercules, Prisoner of Evil" (1967). "Anthony M. Dawson" should not be confused with British character actor "Anthony Dawson" ("Dial M for Murder", "Midnight Lace", and "Curse of the Werewolf"). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
