#	Quote
1	I never had enough money to make any of my films. I just had to use my wits. I came on the set and I was expected to have "instant genius." Over the years of battling against all odds I learned what I could get away with. I've spent my career trying to make inexpensive pictures look more expensive by using "tricks."

#	Fact

2	Directed Basil Dignam eight times.
3	Directed Sam Kydd ten times.
4	Son-in-law of James Donlan.
