Personal Quote:
None of my films has done me any good. I know all epics are awful, but I thought Alexander the Great (1956) might be the first good one. I was wrong. They cut it about - played down to the audience. I say if the audience doesn't understand, let 'em stay ignorant. See more »Trivia:
His film Villain (1971) had been scheduled as a B film starring Derren Nesbitt but with Elizabeth Taylor in London filming Richard wanted a film so it was given to him and made into an A feature. See more »Trademark:
