Reginald Denham Movies
British playwright
Reginald Denham most often worked in collaboration with
Edward Percy. The most famous of Denham and Percy's theatrical pieces was the psychological melodrama
Ladies in Retirement, which was filmed twice by Hollywood, the first time in 1941 and the second (as
The Mad Room) in 1969. On his own, Denham launched a movie directorial career in 1934, helming such programmers as
Death at Broadcasting House and Kate Plus Ten. Reginald Denham kept busy as a writer, producer and director throughout the 1940s; his activities trickled off in the early 1950s, but by the close of that decade he was back as director of the
Gina Lollobrigida vehicle
Anna of Brooklyn (released in the U.S. in 1959 as
Fast and Sexy). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
