Thomas Bentley (1880 – 1950) was a British film director. He directed 68 films between 1912 and 1941. He directed three films in the early DeForest Phonofilm sound-on-film process, ''The Man in the Street'' (1926), ''The Antidote'' (1927), and ''Acci-Dental Treatment'' (1928). Bentley was born in London and originally trained as an engineer, but went on to become a vaudeville performer well known for impersonating the characters from the novels of Charles Dickens on stage. His directing career in silent films began in 1910 with his adaptations of a number of Dickens' novels to film. After his retirement from directing in 1941 he became technical advisor to the British Film Council. ==Selected filmography== * ''David Copperfield'' (1913) * ''Milestones'' (1916) * ''The Divine Gift'' (1918) * ''The Adventures of Mr. Pickwick'' (1921) * ''A Master of Craft'' (1922) * ''A Romance of Mayfair'' (1925) * ''White Heat'' (1926) * ''The Silver Lining'' (1927) * ''Not Quite a Lady'' (1928) * ''Young Woodley'' (1928) * ''The American Prisoner'' (1929) * ''Harmony Heaven'' (1930) * ''Young Woodley'' (1930) * ''Compromising Daphne'' (1930) * ''Hobson's Choice'' (1931) * ''Keepers of Youth'' (1931) * ''After Office Hours'' (1932) * ''Sleepless Nights'' (1932) * ''The Love Nest'' (1933) * ''Hawley's of High Street'' (1933) * ''The Scotland Yard Mystery'' (1934) * ''Those Were the Days'' (1934) * ''The Great Defender'' (1934) * ''The Old Curiosity Shop'' (1934) * ''Royal Cavalcade'' (1935) * ''Music Hath Charms'' (1935) * ''She Knew What She Wanted'' (1936) * ''The Angelus'' (1937) * ''Silver Blaze'' (1937) * ''The Last Chance'' (1937) * ''Night Alone'' (1938) * ''Marigold'' (1938) * ''Me and My Pal'' (1939) * ''Lucky to Me'' (1939) * ''Dead Man's Shoes'' (1940) *''The Middle Watch'' (1940) *''Old Mother Riley's Circus'' (1941) 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「Thomas Bentley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
