Guy Hamilton Biography
Guy Hamilton was born in Paris in 1922 and worked at the Gaumont de La Victorine film studios in Nice as an assistant director in 1939. In 1940, he edited the English Paramount newsreels in London before being drafted into the British navy. During his career he worked alongside authors such as Carol Reed and John Huston and in 1952 he made his first film entitled The ringer. In 1963, he founded the production company Tricastle Films with which he made his personal work The party's over, but the film was held back by censors for a long time, limiting his authorial aspirations. In 1964, he directed the third episode of the James Bond adventures, Goldfinger (Agent 007 - Goldfinger), demonstrating skill in action cinema. Other works include Funeral in Berlin (1966; Funeral in Berlin) with Michael Caine in the role of Harry Palmer, Battle of Britain (1969; The Long Days of Eagles) and three other films from the 007 series. In the 1960s 80, Hamilton directed two detective stories based on A. Christie (The mirror crack'd, 1980, The Mirror Crack'd, and Evil under the sun, 1981, Crime Under the Sun) and a couple of action film parodies (Remo Williams - The adventure begins, 1985, My name is Remo Williams, and La grande fauche 1989, If you like it... go...) which testify to his skill in the craft.
