Lindsay Shonteff

5 November 1935 - 11 March 2006

Director/Producer/Writer

Canadian-born Shonteff moved to England after his western debut The Hired Gun (1961). He had to make cuts to his ventriloquist horror Devil Doll (1964) after British censors considered it too distressing for even an X certificate. Shonteff also introduced a Bond spoof series, beginning with Licensed to Kill (1965).
