John Guillermin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Guillermin (born on November 11, 1925) is a retired film director, writer, and producer who was most active in big budget, action adventure movies throughout his lengthy career. He was born in London, England.
His more famous films, most of which were considerable financial successes, include I Was Monty's Double (1958), Tarzan's Greatest Adventure (1959), Tarzan Goes to India (1962), The Blue Max (1966), The Bridge at Remagen (1969), The Towering Inferno (1974), King Kong (1976), and Death on the Nile (1978). From the 1980s he worked on much less prestigious projects, and his final films consisted of lower budgeted theatrical releases and made-for-TV movies.
Guillermin also directed fifteen episodes of the late-1950s sitcom The Adventures of Aggie.
