Philip Saville (sometimes credited as Philip Savile, born 28 October 1930, London) is a British television director and screenwriter whose career dates to the late 1950s. Screenonline has described Saville as "one of Britain's most prolific and pioneering television and film directors". == Career == He began his working life as an actor. During the 1960s he directed television plays, such as Harold Pinter's ''A Night Out'' (1960) for ABC's ''Armchair Theatre'' anthology series. He directed over 40 plays for ''Armchair Theatre'' and helped pioneer the innovative visual style it became known for, including rapid and intricate camera movements during the often live productions.〔 He also directed ''Madhouse on Castle Street'' (1963) for the BBC. The (now lost) production was the first acting appearance of the folk singer Bob Dylan, whom Saville had flown over specifically to take part in the play. In 1964, Saville's production of ''Hamlet at Elsinore'' for the BBC pioneered the use of videotape for location recording instead of film.〔 Other significant programmes on which Saville worked include ''Out of the Unknown'' (1965) and the ''Boys from the Blackstuff'' (1982) for which Saville received a BAFTA to add to his earlier BAFTA for ''Hamlet at Elsinore'' (1964), and ''The Life and Loves of a She-Devil (1986). For the cinema, Saville directed ''The Fruit Machine'' (1988, released as ''Wonderland'' in the US), ''Metroland'' (1997) and ''The Gospel of John'' (2003). He also directed a masterclass studio in London specializing in dramatic improvisation.〔See (The Philip Saville Studio )〕 Saville's documentary on Harold Pinter ''Pinter's Progress'' (2009) for Sundance international television channels and UK's Sky Arts features numerous interviews with associates of the Nobel Prize–winning playwright. 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「Philip Saville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
