Biography

Andrew Sinclair was born on January 21, 1935. He was a writer and director, known for The Breaking of Bumbo (1970), Tuxedo Warrior (1982) and Blueblood (1974). He was married to Sonia Melchett, Miranda Seymour and Marianne Alexandre. He died on May 30, 2019.

In the late 1960s, he founded a publishing house, Lorrimer Press, devoted to the publication of film scripts. These were sometimes the actual scripts and sometimes transliterations of what was to be seen on the screen - in the case of "The Third Man", he published, in the same volume, both the original screenplay that Graham Greene had written and a scene-by-scene account of what is actually on-screen, to demonstrate how far a script can be changed in the process of being turned into a film.
