One Of Britain's Top Directors Says Movies Need Producers
New York—(U.P.)The movie producer may well deserve many of the brickbats hurled at him but he is an essential fellow in a healthy film industry, says Carol Reed, one of Britain's top directors
In America for a quick business" look-around, Mr. Reed, who made "The Third Man" movie among many other successes, pointed to the situation in his own country as an example of what can happen when the producer vanishes.
"When J. Arthur Rank practically took over the British film industry a few years ago he was of the opinion that, since there were a lot of top-flight directors on hand, the only thing necessary was to let them go ahead and make pictures on their own.
"The result was that the producer practically dropped out of the picture there. And the result of that was that soon there was no one to run things." Mr. Reed said.
"Now a first-class director naturally wants to have a lot of autonomy, but there has to be that fellow sitting in the office to keep all the loose ends together. Otherwise you get a lot of opportunities to work on longer exist on a substantial business basis and things generally go to pot.
"Whatever sins may or not be charged against Hollywood, the industry there as least is functioning sturdily in a business-like manner under the guidance of producers," Mr. Reed said.
Mr. Reed, king as a chase and suspense king, went far afield from his usual style to make his latest film. It is "Outcast of the Islands" based on the Joseph Conrad novel of the same name. He made it against natural backgrounds in the South seas with such British players as Sir Ralph Richardson, Robert Morley and Wendy Hiller. Loper Films will release it here in the spring.
