Mike Leigh
Mike Leigh( born 20 February 1943) is an English writer and director of film and theatre.
He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art( RADA), East 15 Acting School and further at the Camberwell School of Art, the Central School of Art and Design and London Film School.
He began as a theatre director and playwright in the mid-1960s.
In the 1970s and'80s his career moved between theatre work and making films for BBC Television.
His well- known films include the comedy- dramas" Life Is Sweet"( 1990) and" Career Girls"( 1997), the Gilbert and Sullivan biographical film" Topsy- Turvy"( 1999) and the bleak working- class drama" All or Nothing"( 2002).
His most notable works are the black comedy- drama" Naked"( 1993), for which he won the Best Director Award at Cannes, the Oscar- nominated, BAFTA and Palme d' Or- winning drama" Secrets& Lies"( 1996), the Golden Lion winning working- class drama" Vera Drake"( 2004), and the Palme d' Or nominated biopic" Mr. Turner"( 2014).
His stage plays include" Smelling A RatIt's A Great Big ShameGreek TragedyGoose- PimplesEcstasy" and" Abigail's Party".
Leigh is known for his lengthy rehearsal and improvisation techniques with actors to build characters and narrative for his films.
His purpose is to capture reality and present" emotional, subjective, intuitive, instinctive, vulnerable films."
His films and stage plays, according to critic Michael Coveney," comprise a distinctive, homogenous body of work which stands comparison with anyone's in the British theatre and cinema over the same period."
Leigh,
Coveney said, has helped to create stars – Liz Smith in" Hard Labour", Alison Steadman in" Abigail's Party", Brenda Blethyn in" Grown- Ups", Antony Sher in" Goose- Pimples", Gary Oldman and Tim Roth in" Meantime", Jane Horrocks in" Life is Sweet", David Thewlis in" Naked—" and remarked that the list of actors who have worked with him over the years —including Paul Jesson, Phil Daniels, Lindsay Duncan, Lesley Sharp, Kathy Burke, Stephen Rea, Julie Walters –" comprises an impressive, almost representative, nucleus of outstanding British acting talent."
His aesthetic has been compared to the sensibility of the Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu and the Italian Federico Fellini.
Ian Buruma, writing in" The New York Review of Books" in January 1994, commented:" It is hard to get on a London bus or listen to the people at the next table in a cafeteria without thinking of Mike Leigh.
Like other wholly original artists, he has staked out his own territory.
Leigh's London is as distinctive as Fellini's Rome or Ozu's Tokyo."
Tom Walls
Thomas Kirby Walls( 18 February 1883 – 27 November 1949), known as Tom Walls, was an English stage and film actor, producer and director, best known for presenting and co-starring in the Aldwych farces in the 1920s and for starring in and directing the film adaptations of those plays in the 1930s.
Walls spent his early years as an actor, from 1905, mostly in musical comedy, touring the British provinces, North America and Australia and in the West End.
He specialised in comic character roles, typically flirtatious middle aged men.
In 1922 he went into management in partnership with the comic actor Leslie Henson.
They had an early success in the West End with a long- running farce," Tons of Money", after which Walls commissioned and staged a series of farces at the Aldwych Theatre that ran almost continuously over the next decade.
He and his co-star Ralph Lynn were among the most popular British actors of their time.
In addition to his work in the theatre, Walls directed and acted in more than forty films between 1930 and 1949.
Some of these were screen versions of the successful stage plays, others were specially- written comedies on similar lines, and there were also serious films, particularly later in Walls's career.
Away from acting, Walls's passion was horse racing.
He set up stables at his home in Surrey and trained about 150 winners, including April the Fifth, his 1932 Derby winner.
