I know he directed "Cold Mountain," which I liked a great deal.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-19-2008 02:29 AM                        He was also a very active behind-the-scenes political figure in the British film industry and was active as a theatre director, too, hence his comparatively limited film output. He achieved some good things for the British Film Institute during his five-year stint as its chairman.  |  IP: Logged
