David McGillivray (born 7 September 1947 in London) is an actor, producer, playwright, screenwriter and film critic.〔(New York Times )〕 Originally a critic for ''Monthly Film Bulletin'', McGillivray wrote his first film script, ''Albert's Follies'', for friend Ray Selfe in 1973. Intended as a vehicle for The Goodies, who turned it down, the film was eventually released as ''White Cargo'' and starred a young David Jason in one of his earliest leading roles. McGillivray was soon involved in the British sex film industry, writing scripts for ''I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight'' (1975) and ''The Hot Girls'' (1974), two films produced by pornographer John Jesnor Lindsay. As would be the case with many of his films, McGillivray makes cameo appearances in both: in ''I’m Not Feeling Myself Tonight'' he is “Man at Party” who pulls Monika Ringwald’s dress off while in ''The Hot Girls'' he was given the job of doing an onscreen interview with Danish actress Helli Louise, who according to the synopsis in ''Cinema X'' magazine, talks to him about "working on a movie, and telling a few facts of life about screen nudity and enacting lesbian love scenes." ==Horror== He gained attention with his scripts for the horror films of Norman J. Warren and especially Pete Walker. McGillivray wrote two scripts for Warren (''Satan's Slave'', ''Terror'') and four for Walker (''Frightmare'', ''House of Whipcord'', ''House of Mortal Sin'', ''Schizo''). McGillivray's background as a critic for ''Monthly Film Bulletin'' and ''Time Out'' did not exclude his writing efforts from the (sometimes personal sounding) criticism of ex-colleagues. A ''Films Illustrated'' review of ''I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight'' laments, "It is depressing to see David McGillivray writing scripts like this," while a ''Time Out'' review of ''Satan's Slave'' opens with: “Another absolute stinker from the withered pen of David McGillivray.”〔(''Time Out'' )〕 In 1975 McGillivray was interviewed for an edition of the BBC programme ''Man Alive'', dealing with sexploitation films, along with Walker, Bachoo Sen and Kent Walton. However, he later felt that he and his fellow contributors had presented a distorted view of the business, telling ''Screen International'' magazine in the same year "thrilled to bits that our opinions were held to be important enough for transmission we had all -may we be forgiven- said what the nations moral reformers wanted to hear i.e. that the films we made degraded us and that we were thoroughly miserable that the public didn't want to see anything more uplifting. This is not the case. I have never worked with anyone who found it unpleasant or distasteful to do a job which involved standing in close proximity to naked women.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David McGillivray (producer/screenwriter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
