He made his first feature film, "That Night" (1957) -- a daring, ahead-of-its-time story of a businessman's heart attack and its effect on his family -- during that same period. His second movie, "The Violators" (1957), attracted less attention, and since then Newland has worked largely in television-based material, including "The Spy With My Face" (1968), an above-average feature film adaptation of a Man From U.N.C.L.E. episode featuring Senta Berger with the usual cast of "Robert Vaughn," David McCallum, and Leo G. Carroll, and TV movies such as "A Sensitive Passionate Man" (1977) and "The Suicide's Wife" (1979). ~ Bruce Eder, All... Full Biography
