J Lee Thompson was a film director, active in both British films & Hollywood. He was born in Bristol, England & was a stage actor from age 17 & a playwright by 20. His entry into films was as an actor & then a screenwriter. His directing debut came in 1950. Lee Thompson, as he was often known, made some critically well-received films in Britain, The Good Companions, Woman in a Dressing Gown, Ice Cold in Alex, Tiger Bay, Northwest Frontier, I Aim at the Stars, before he was assigned to direct The Guns of Navarone, as a replacement of original director Alexander Mackendrick. The success of that film won him entry into Hollywood, where he directed Cape Fear, a blistering psychological thriller that was regarded as simply too controversial back home in Britain & subjected to much censorship. Lee Thompsons work in Hollywood was varied & received mixed receptions, though some of his best films from this period, Return from the Ashes & Country Dance aka Brotherly Love, were at least partly if not wholly British productions, seemingly a redeeming feature.
