Tony Richardson

Highest Rated: 92% Look Back in Anger (1958)

Lowest Rated: 27% Ned Kelly (1970)

Birthday: Jun 5, 1928

Birthplace: Shipley, Yorkshire, England, UK

British theater and film director primarily associated with the "Angry Young Man" movement of the late 1950s and early 60s. Richardson worked as a producer with the BBC from 1952 to 1955 and co-directed a short documentary about working-class youths, "Momma Don't Allow" (1955), with Karel Reisz. The film was well received when shown at the first "Free Cinema" program in 1956--the same year that "Look Back in Anger," a play written by John Osborne and directed by Richardson, shook up the English theatrical establishment with its bitter indictment of postwar culture.
