English film producers and directors.
Twin brothers born in Bray, England in 1913. Worked together as producer and director whenever they could and their work is almost indistinguishable. They made a mix of tight, economical films (Brighton Rock, Seven Days to Noon etc.) and flabby, fuddled comedies (Carlton-Browne of the F.O., Private's Progress etc.).
John died in 1985 and Roy in 2001.
