Show detail Hide detail

Turner, Melburn E : Melburn E. Turner was born in London, Ontario on 25 March 1908. Turner's interest in films began when he was a member of London's Little Theatre in London, Ontario. His first film, Here will I nest (1941), was the first sound colour feature made in Canada. This was followed by Etienne Brûlé gibier de potence (1951) and The little Canadian (1954). Turner directed several short films in the 1940s for Associated Screen News, and also worked as producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in the 1960s and early 1970s. Turner died in 1998 at the age of 90. Morris, Peter. The Film Companion: A Comprehensive Guide to More Than 650 Canadian Films and Filmmakers (Toronto: Irwin Publishing, 1984), 300.
