Gerry Anderson
Gerry Anderson( born Gerald Alexander Abrahams; 14 April 1929 – 26 December 2012) was an English television and film producer, director, writer and occasional voice artist.
He remains famous for his futuristic television programmes, especially his 1960s productions filmed with" Supermarionation"( marionette puppets containing electric moving parts).
Anderson's first television production was the 1957 Roberta Leigh children's series" The Adventures of TwizzleSupercar"( 1961 – 62) and" Fireball XL5"( 1962) followed later, both series breaking into the US television market in the early 1960s.
In the mid-1960s Anderson produced his most successful series," Thunderbirds".
Other television productions of the 1960s include" Stingray" and" Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons".
Anderson also wrote and produced several feature films whose box office performance was unexceptional.
Following a shift towards live action productions in the 1970s, he had a long and successful association with media impresario Lew Grade and Grade's company ITC, continuing until the second series of.
After a career lull when a number of new series concepts failed to get off the ground, his career began a new phase in the early 1980s when audience nostalgia for his earlier Supermarionation series( prompted by Saturday morning re-runs in Britain and Australia) led to new Anderson productions being commissioned.
Later projects include a 2005 CG remake of" Captain Scarlet" entitled" Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet".

Crossroads to Crime
Crossroads to Crime is a 1960 British crime film; it is the first and only film to be directed by Gerry Anderson for his production company, AP Films.
Anderson, then a producer of children's puppet television series, accepted an offer from Anglo- Amalgamated to shoot a one- hour, low- budget B movie when no TV network could be found to distribute" Supercar".
The first of Anderson's productions to use live actors," Crossroads to Crime" follows a police constable( Anthony Oliver) who turns detective in order to confront and bring down a gang of vehicle hi-jackers led by Miles( Ferdy Mayne).
Shot mostly on location between May and June 1960, the film's cast includes several actors who would appear in later Anderson productions.
The score was written by Barry Gray, who along with John Read( the film's director of photography) and David Elliott( its editor) would also continue his association with Anderson.
Released in November 1960," Crossroads to Crime" was a box office disappointment and has attracted a predominantly negative critical response.
Although it was praised by one source as a competent" cops and robbers" thriller, criticism has been directed at the film's script, editing and set design, as well as its low production values.
The film has been broadcast at least twice on British TV since the end of its brief theatrical run, most recently on Talking Pictures TV in September 2019.
It was released on DVD in 2013.
