Timeline

1960

He made his last feature in 1960 and, apart from an occasional foray into television, retired.

1957

In 1957 he turned out two well-received films, After the Ball (1957) and The Mailbag Robbery (1957).

1950

The films he made there weren't particularly well-received--his most successful, King Solomon's Mines (1950), was lauded mainly for its impressive action scenes, which were in fact directed not by Bennett but by Andrew Marton, who received co-director credit--and he returned to Britain a few years later. While there he divided his time between films and television, with an occasional foray into directing theatrical productions.

1945

His feature debut as a director was The Seventh Veil (1945), which was a big success. MGM took note, and he was brought to Hollywood to make films for them.

1932

Compton Bennett started out as a bandleader and then became a commercial artist. He turned out a few amateur films that caught the attention of producer Alexander Korda's London Films, and they hired him in 1932 as a film editor. During World War II he directed a few instructional films for the British military and some propaganda shorts for the general public.
