 | | Arliss moved into the director's chair in 1941 when he joined Associated British Productions to work on The Farmer's Wife, a sound remake of a film that Alfred Hitchcock had done as a silent in 1928 (from a screenplay to which Arliss had contributed, uncredited), based on a hit play of the 1920s. |
 | | Arliss co-directed the remake with fellow screenwriter Norman Lee, and it was moderately successful, enough to get Arliss a solo directing spot on the thriller The Night Has Eyes (1942), starring James Mason. |
 | | Arliss left Korda in 1952, and after that began writing and directing for television, including the anthology series Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Presents, and the adventure shows William Tell, The Buccaneers (starring Robert Shaw), The New Adventures of Charlie Chan, and The Forest Rangers. |
