Vernon Sewell

Vernon Campbell Sewell (4 July 1903 – 21 June 2001) was a British film director, writer, producer and, briefly, an actor.

Sewell was born in London, England, and was educated at Marlborough College. He directed more than 30 films during his career, starting with ''Morgenrot'' (1933) and ending with ''Burke & Hare'' (1971). He worked chiefly in B-movies, some of which were, according to the BFI Screenonline, "well above the usual cut-price standards of film-making at this level."

He was married to the actress Joan Carol (born Joan Roscoe Catt 1905-1986) in 1950. Vernon Sewell died on 21 June 2001 in Durban, South Africa, at age 97. Provided by Wikipedia
