The Life and Work of Peter Rogers
The 'Carry On . . .' films were the brainchild of Peter Rogers - one of Britain's most admired and respected film producers - and over thirty films were made during the series' long and dazzlingly successful run. Now he has broken his silence to tell his fascinating story.
This book charts Peter Rogers' career and his marriage to Betty Box - England's first female producer who went on to make the Doctor film series; and it documents his forty-year partnership with director Gerald Thomas. This biography also dispels the popular myth of Rogers controlling the 'Carry On . . .' finance without joining in the fun. A wealth of hitherto unpublished photographs have been discovered that show him cavorting on set with the stars and he discloses an array of behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
