M remains a powerful work ; it was remade in 1951 by Joseph Losey, but this version had little impact on audiences, and has become harder to see than the original film.

This staging was directed by Joseph Losey.

In 1951, Gerald Losey was selected as the first mayor.

Joseph Walton Losey ( January 14, 1909, La Crosse, Wisconsin – June 22, 1984, London ) was an American theater and film director.

In the 1950s Losey was blacklisted in the United States and moved to Europe where he made the remainder of his films, mostly in the United Kingdom.

During the McCarthy Era, Losey was named during hearings of the HUAC for his supposed ties with the Communist Party.

He was also originally slated to direct the 1956 Hammer Films production X the Unknown ; however, after a few days work on the project, star Dean Jagger refused to work with a supposed Communist sympathiser and Losey was moved off the project.

In 1979 Losey filmed Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, shot in Villa La Rotonda and the Veneto region of Italy: this film was nominated for several César Awards in 1980 including Best Director.

From 1956 to 1963 he was married to British actress Dorothy Bromiley ; they had a son, Joshua Losey, an actor.

Harris was nominated for the BAFTA that year but was topped by Dirk Bogarde for his role in the Joseph Losey production The Servant.

The project had first been discussed by the Rank Organisation as a possible project for Joseph Losey, the exiled American film maker known for his long collaboration with writer Harold Pinter, and then was passed to Karel Reisz who, reluctant to direct another film on a Northern England subject so soon after Saturday Night and Sunday Morning ( 1960 ), passed it to his friend, Lindsay Anderson.

An argument between Alexander Bur, Bishop of Moray and John Dunbar, 4th Earl of Moray was documented in 1383 regarding the ‘ ownership ’ of the port of ‘ Losey ’.

A screen adaptation of the play, directed by Joseph Losey for American Film Theatre, was produced in 1975 under the title Galileo with Topol in the title role.

For the 1956 British science-fiction film X the Unknown, there was controversy when the actor refused to work with director Joseph Losey on this film because Losey was on the Hollywood blacklist.

Losey was removed from the project after a few days shooting and replaced with Les Norman.

It was written by Jimmy Sangster, and was originally to have been directed by Joseph Losey ( working under the name Joseph Walton ).

Morale had dropped in the wake of Ethiopia ’ s cancellation, and Triple-A ’ s original director left in frustration ; Joseph Losey, known for his support of the Communist Party and recently returned from a visit to Moscow, replaced him.

Two film versions were released in 1973: one directed by Joseph Losey, starring Jane Fonda, David Warner and Trevor Howard ; and the other by Patrick Garland with Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins, and Ralph Richardson.

All three films are marked by Pinter's sparse, elliptical, and enigmatically subtextual dialogue, something Losey often develops a visual correlate for and occasionally even works against by means of dense and cluttered mise en scene and peripatetic camera work.

Pinter later worked with Losey on The Proust Screenplay ( 1972 ), an adaptation of A la recherche du temps perdu by Marcel Proust ; however, the finances were never found to realize a film before Losey died.

Losey had co-directed the original U. S. production of Galileo with the author himself as the other co-director ( and Charles Laughton, who had worked on the translation / adaptation, had had the lead role, taken in the film by Topol ).
