Boulting, Roy

Boulting, Roy
▪ 2002

      British filmmaker (b. Nov. 21, 1913, Bray, Berkshire, Eng.—d. Nov. 5, 2001, Eynsham, Oxfordshire, Eng.), created, in partnership with his twin brother, John, some of Great Britain's most popular motion pictures of the 1940s and '50s. In 1937 the Boultings founded Charter Film Productions Ltd. and began making movies, usually with one brother serving as producer of the films that the other directed. During World War II Roy directed documentaries for the Army Film and Photographic Unit, notably the Academy Award-winning Desert Victory (1943). After the war the Boultings reteamed and made films ranging from the thriller Brighton Rock (1947) to social dramas such as Fame Is the Spur (1946), The Guinea Pig (1948), and Seven Days to Noon (1950). They were best known for their satiric comedies, including Private's Progress (1956), Lucky Jim (1957), and I'm All Right, Jack (1959), many of which served as star vehicles for Ian Carmichael and Peter Sellers. Roy Boulting's final films included The Family Way (1966), Twisted Nerve (1968), and There's a Girl in My Soup (1970). John Boulting died in 1985.
