Robert Hamer

Died in 1963

Robert Hamer was born in 1911, came from editing and joined the Ealing studios in 1940, where he made a handful of films, including one episode of a famous portmanteau film; he left the studio after a conflict with its management. Drink got the better of him: in 1960 he was dismissed from a shoot that was almost finished and made no further films, collaborating only on a few screenplays. He died at the age of fifty-two, in 1963.
