Director, Editor Born: January 21, 1926 in London, England, UK Biography:British director "Clive Donner" was 15 when he earned his first industry job as a film editor. At 32, Donner was promoted to director with the medium-budget "The Secret Place". He thereafter evinced a great deal of technical skill. During the "auteur"-happy 1960s and 1970s, Donner was interviewed by impressionable young cineasts who regarded him as the sole "author" of such films as "The Caretaker" (1963, script by "Harold Pinter") and "Nothing But the Best" (1964, script by "Frederick Raphael"). Picking up the cudgel, Donner told his interviewers what they wanted to hear, even taking full credit for the success of 1964's "What's New Pussycat" -- graciously citing the "important contribution" of "Woody Allen"'s screenplay as a near-afterthought! Just how well "Clive Donner" fared without an above-average script is demonstrated by such Donner-directed gems as "Old Dracula" (1974) "The Nude Bomb" (1980)... Full Biography
