 Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Oliver Reed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Reed's childhood was one he openly acknowledged as isolatory, raised between divorced parents who ignored one another, as well as Reed himself, who was sent as soon as feasible to boarding schools.
Reed came dangerously close to being typecast as a man-beast both on and off screen, his string of Hammer horror films casting him as sociopaths and fiends as in "These Are The Damned" to literal monsters.
Reed could boast credit for the first full-frontal male nudity in a feature film for his revealing role in the critically acclaimed "Women in Love" and wreak laughter as the alternately storming and simpering "God Vulcan" in Terry Gilliam's 1989 hit "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen".

 Britmovie - Carol Reed Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Carol Reed, upon graduation from school was interested in theatre and made a career as an actor from the mid 1920s, and later as a stage manager.
However, it was with the end of hostilities that Reed came into his own as a director with the dark psychological drama Odd Man Out (1946), about the last hours of a dying IRA gunman.
Unfortunately, the retrenchment of the British film industry that began at the outset of the 1950s seemed to cost Reed several opportunities, and his next widely-seen works were such high-profile, large-scale films as Trapeze (1956) and the disastrous blockbuster Mutiny On the Bounty (1962).
