Question: Which film has the director who died earlier, The Phantom Of The Opera (1962 Film) or I Was A Spy?

He was the first to bring gothic horror alive in full colour, and the sexual overtones and explicit horror in his films, while mild by modern standards, were unprecedented in his day. His first major gothic horror film was" The Curse of Frankenstein"( 1957), which launched Hammer's association with the genre and made British actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee leading horror stars of the era. He went on to film several adaptations of classic horror subjects, including" Dracula"( 1958)," The Mummy"( 1959), and" The Curse of the Werewolf"( 1961). Terence Fisher( 23 February 1904 – 18 June 1980) was a British film director best known for his work for Hammer Films. Given their subject matter and lurid approach, Fisher's films, though commercially successful, were largely dismissed by critics during his career. It is only in recent years that Fisher has become recognised as an" auteur" in his own right. His most famous films are characterised by a blend of fairytale myth and the supernatural alongside themes of sexuality, morality, and ‘ the charm of evil ’. Drawing heavily on a Christian conservative outlook, there is often a hero who defeats the powers of darkness by a combination of faith in God and reason, in contrast to other characters, who are either blindly superstitious or bound by cold, godless rationalism. For detailed discussions of Fisher's work, see" Terence Fisher: Horror, Myth, and Religion" by Paul Leggett( McFarland and Co, 2002)," British Film Makers: Terence Fisher" by Peter Hutchings( Manchester University Press, 2013), and" The Films of Terence Fisher: Hammer Horror and Beyond" by Wheeler Winston Dixon( Auteur Publishing, 2017). <SEP> I Was a Spy is a 1933 British thriller film directed by Victor Saville and starring Madeleine Carroll, Herbert Marshall, and Conrad Veidt.
