John Collier(1901-1980)

His great-grandfather was physician to King William IV.

[on "Sylvia Scarlett", 1935]: Unfortunately, it didn't turn out as well as was hoped. It had all the elements of a really good film - based on a lively book, a first-rate cast, and in Cukor an outstandingly brilliant director. Unfortunately, again, not a good script. In the main, my fault.
