Hugh Hudson

Hugh Hudson was born in London in 1936, came from advertising films and documentary, and moved to feature films with a producer who was then recruiting his directors from advertising. His first fiction feature received seven nominations at the American awards, including one for his direction; the second still succeeded, but the third, a historical superproduction, failed so heavily that it contributed to the downfall of the main English production company. He died in 2023.
