#frankensteinfriday:
Today, the nineteenth of September we remember the late ANTHONY HINDS,
who sadly left us last year... today he would have been his 93rd
birthday. For many Hammer film fans, Hinds represents the 'Golden Years'
of the studios output and production.
Producer and script writer, he was responsible for some of Peter
Cushing's most revered work in the fantasy genre.
In Hammer's early
days, it was Hinds idea to hire country houses and to based the
production and shooting in the rooms and grounds of the locations,
which saved the the studio huge production costs. His script writing
skills, have been picked over by many, but few could doubt his skill in
managing tight budgets, and building impressive productions, with very
limited resources and finance...and for this, he was indeed, the 'Master
Builder and Architect of Hammer films'...and for that, we are very
grateful.....
