Ronald Neame talks about working with Alfred Hitchcock
almost 3 years ago
“The film-maker Ronald Neame, one of the longest survivors from the early days of British cinema, died in Los Angeles on June 16, 2010. He was 99. The director of the hugely successful 1972 action adventure The Poseidon Adventure enjoyed a career that spanned eight decades. He worked with many of the 20th Century's most distinguished film-makers and performers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Noel Coward, Alec Guinness, John Mills, Maggie Smith and David Lean. During the final decade of his life, Ronnie and I became friends. We chatted for hours as he reflected on his colourful career and longevity. He had a deep affection for his craft, a keen sense of humour and a unique perspective on the early days of film-making. Ronald Neame was born in London in 1911. The son of a celebrated photographer, Elwin Neame, and the actress Ivy Close, he was destined for a career in entertainment. Ronnie talked to me about his early career, as a clapper boy on Hitchcock's Blackmail, the first talking picture made in England, in 1929. ”
