From Estate of:
Peter Glenville (1913–1996) was a celebrated British stage and film director
whose career spanned both London’s West End and Broadway, as well as Hollywood.
He attended Oxford, became president of its Dramatic Society, and began as an
actor before shifting into directing, including a role as director at the
Old Vic by 1944. He achieved major acclaim in both British and American theater,
directing notable productions such as The Browning Version, The Innocents,
Separate Tables, and Hotel Paradiso, and later Broadway hits like Becket (1960)
and Take Me Along (1959‑60). In cinema, Glenville earned Golden Globe nominations
for Me and the Colonel (1958, in International Understanding) and Becket
(1964, Best Director), and helmed films starring Alec Guinness, Richard Burton,
Peter O’Toole, Elizabeth Taylor, and others. After the early 1970s,
he retired to Mexico, where he developed a colonial estate, and passed
away in New York on June 3, 1996.
Many of Peter Glenville’s personal belongings were once appraised and featured in Christie’s NY Important English Furniture catalog in 2003.
