- Julian Jebb was born on April 2, 1934 in Staffordshire, England, UK. He was a producer and director, known for Arena (1975), Contrasts (1967) and Nancy Mitford: A Portrait by Her Sisters (1980). He died on October 31, 1984 in London, England, UK.
- He was also a well-known arts journalist in Britain. He contributed much film criticism to the British Film Institute's publications, especially "Sight And Sound" magazine; his greatest cinematic enthusiasm was for the films of Francois Truffaut, and he committed suicide shortly after hearing of Truffaut's death.
- He was the grandson of the poet and writer Hilaire Belloc.
- [reviewing "Tristana", 1971]: The great director's signature on this, his most sober film, is to be detected in its pace and irony, and those are in every frame.
