Hillingdon, Middlesex, England, UK:
Director de cine británico. Procedente de una familia de actores de teatro, Anderson llegó al cine muy pronto: asistente de dirección desde 1940, debutará como realizador en 1949. De sus ocho primeros filmes, correctos aunque anodinos, sólo destaca ‘1984’ (1955), adaptación de la novela homónima de Orwell. Pero será el estruendoso éxito crítico-comercial de otra adaptación, ‘La vuelta al mundo en 80 días’ (1956), el que lo situará en primer plano, ganando de paso 5 Óscar, entre ellos el de mejor película. De sus siguientes largos descollarán, por su pasajera popularidad, ‘Las sandalias del pescador’ (1968) y ‘La fuga de Logan’ (1976). Director tan pulcro como falto de inventiva, Anderson es uno de tantos artesanos capaces de confeccionar un cine de entretenimiento de calidad, sin manifestar por ello personalidad estética.
