Tony Maylam (1943) is an English-born filmmaker for cinema and television.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tony Maylam )〕 == Biography == Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he began his career as an actor and then television presenter for ZDF Bermuda (''The Tony Maylam Show'') and the UK’s ITV (''Sportsweek''), before concentrating solely on filmmaking. Always interested in sport, he began his cinematic career in 1972 with the film ''Cup Glory'', a feature length theatrical film with Richard Attenborough on the 100 years of the FA Cup. A number of films for television followed, which he wrote and directed, including ''Graham'', on Graham Hill with Paul Newman (which was one of the highest rated documentaries shown on British television in the 1970s) and ''A Fast Drive in the Country'' with James Coburn. This led to ''White Rock'', again featuring James Coburn, with a bestselling soundtrack by Rick Wakeman, which played in British cinemas for over six months and garnered wide international sales and recognition, including BAFTA. Another Tony Maylam film which received an extensive cinema release in 1976 was ''Genesis in Concert'', featuring Phil Collins, which, like White Rock, was shot in anamorphic Panavision. This led to Tony Maylam’s first fictional feature film, an adaption of the classic novel, ''The Riddle of the Sands'', starring Simon MacCorkindale, Michael York and Jenny Agutter, which he wrote and directed. Bob and Harvey Weinstein then bought ''White Rock'' and ''Genesis'' for release in the United States and released it under the combined title of ''Sensasia'' (Harvey at the time was a major rock promoter based in Buffalo, New York). This led to Harvey and Bob’s first venture as full movie producers, a cult horror film, ''The Burning'', which Maylam directed and which was also the first film for Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens and Holly Hunter. Whilst in the United States, Maylam also directed a movie for ABC television, ''The Sins of Dorian Gray'', a 1983 made-for-TV adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' that starred Anthony Perkins. Tony Maylam also wrote and directed ''Hero'', featuring Diego Maradona,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hero Review.
