Crichton, Charles Ainslie

Crichton, Charles Ainslie
▪ 2000

      British film director who achieved near-legendary status with a series of classic comedies he made for Ealing Studios in the 1940s and '50s, notably Hue and Cry (1947), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951), and The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953); by the 1960s he had retreated to directing for television, but he made a triumphant big-screen comeback—and garnered an Academy Award nomination—for A Fish Called Wanda in 1988 (b. Aug. 6, 1910, Wallasey, Cheshire, Eng.—d. Sept. 14, 1999, London, Eng.).
