Jon Amiel

Highest Rated: 80% Queen of Hearts (1989)

Lowest Rated: 16% Simply Irresistible (1999)

Birthday: May 20, 1948

Birthplace: London, England, UK

An acclaimed British TV director, notably of Dennis Potter's surreal musical mystery drama "The Singing Detective" (BBC, 1986-87; PBS 1988), Jon Amiel successfully segued to features, gaining notice and accolades for "Queen of Hearts" (1989), a charming saga of an Italian immigrant family transplanted to England as seen through the eyes of a child. This beguiling blend of comedy, fantasy and drama lit the way to the US, where Amiel directed Peter Falk and Barbara Hershey in "Tune in Tomorrow" (1990), a light-hearted romp that took place in and around a New Orleans radio show.
