Terence Young was the original director, the man Albert "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman chose to bring Dr. No to life, and he is the man who took Bond from the written page and turned him into a living, breathing cultural icon.
Young reasoned that a 1962 audience might not buy a hero who simply did his job and in the meantime slept with any woman he felt like, without seeming as derelict as the villain he was disposing of.
Young had done his job and felt that with FRWL Bond had been taken about as far as he could be without moving drastically away from the thriller genre into the general entertainment field.

 James Bond 007 :: MI6 - The Home Of James Bond
Terence Young's career veered into obscurity after his reign as the original, and some argue the best, 007 director came to an end.
Young, who helmed "Dr. No", "From Russia With Love" and "Thunderball" (the largest inflation adjusted grossing Bond film ever) struggled to find projects of the scale and intensity of the Bond series once his reign as 007's director came to an end in 1965.
Young was commissioned to edit "The Long Days" (a translated title from "Ayyam al-tawila"), a mammoth 6 hour biopic on the life of Saddam - at a time when the West's attitude to the regime was quite different to what is is today.

 Review | Rhymes With Useless by Terence Young
Young's prime emotional territory is ground that is familiar to all of us: the family, that tender and excruciating realm where relationships intertwine like pulsing blood vessels.
Young is especially concerned with the tender area of family estrangement and our groping, imperfect attempts to reach across the gulf.
Though Young is not exactly detached, he does leave enough space to let the people in his stories reveal who they are in word and gesture.

 Terence Young
Young’s pictorialism is active in Emperor Constantine’s reservoir and the Hagia Sophia (the latter perhaps a memory of Hitchcock); it is hard to imagine these scenes better filmed.
Young analyzes this film as Dial M for Murder (from the fingerprints to the light-dark modulation, and by the same playwright) jazzed up with Pinter parodies and The Night of the Hunter.
Young modulates his entire range, but his most ferocious aspect is the medium close-up imparting to his sculptural figures a freedom of movement like dance.

 Review - Rhymes With Useless by Terence Young
Young’s work, however, calculates the price which the pursuit of calm exacts as his characters adjust to the frailty of the present, a frailty born of ennui, relationship misunderstandings, meaninglessness, even self-loathing.
In Young’s story “Fast,” Jerry is the husband-father protagonist; upon realizing how many evenings he and his wife have spent visiting couples-with-kids and eating dinner with money managers, he “felt he was slipping away.” His evening-marginalization is compounded by his daytime job, for Jerry repairs photocopy-machines at the local university.
Young’s characters fulfill their financial duty, working to pay their rent or mortgage, to buy their food and clothe their children; some of his characters also struggle to fulfill their human duty.

 Terence Young Biography
Shanghai-born Terence Young’s work as a director has been fairly undistinguished apart from his contributions to the James Bond movies, which include the first and best of them, Dr. No (1962).
In a way, this may have something to do with such a dismal record: Young seems to have had the misfortune to choose (or be assigned) a great many films whose scripts were so poor that few directors could have done much with them.
Young began work as a scriptwriter at Elstree Studios at 21, his first credited solo screenplay being the film On the Night of the Fire (1940), with Ralph Richardson.

Young's exploration here is rich in detail and illustration and links back to the more general themes of the first section.
Young's book is a valuable contribution to the social science context for how, when, where, and why cities around the United States began to develop public parks.
If there is a shortcoming, it is that Young misses the opportunity to more thoroughly explore the irony that it is the city (and its visionaries) that shape new directions in human-nature relations.

Young lays out stories of sand, wind, and horticultural diversity together with inspired devotion and application of seminal figures such as William Hammond Hall and John McLaren.
As a one-time horticulturalist turned cultural geographer, Young combines his understanding of plants as cultural artifacts with historical research into the urban reformers dreams and hopes for the socially meliorative qualities of nature and recreation as sources of civic harmony.

Young Terence was befriended by the Scipionic circle that included Scipio Aemilianus, the satirist Gaius Lucilius, the Stoic Gaius Laelius, the philosopher Panaetius of Rhodes, and the historian Polybius.
For several years young Cicero was a keen observer of the lawcourts and political debates but held back from participating, mainly because he disliked the lawlessness and autocracy of Cinna's government 87-84 BC, just as forty years later he would withdraw from the dictatorship of Julius Caesar.

 slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Wait Until Dark
Terence Young's tense cinematic adaptation so ruthlessly tightens the screws of tension that one could be forgiven for not noticing an earthquake, much less dimmed house lights.
Also, Young makes the smart decision of setting his thriller inside a basement apartment, the cave-like arches of which have the unsettling effect of positioning Hepburn in a nondescript underground (the windows only look out on the feet of passersby, emphasizing Suzy's disconnect from her neighborhood).
It also doesn't help that her meticulously ordered apartment is systematically thrown into disarray as the film goes on, causing her to increasingly bump into furniture and lose her balance.

 A park built on the dream of an egalitarian society
Young focuses on the 80 years he does because that's when the two major philosophies of modern park making had their respective heydays.
Young's remaining two chapters concentrate first on the public reaction to Golden Gate Park -- affording him ample opportunity to quote from, and embarrass, newspapers not excluding this one -- and, second, on the rest of San Francisco's park system.
Elsewhere in the book, Young's charts of Hall's original plantings doubtless gratified his thesis committee, and the lists of their scientific names should satisfy the horticulturalist; nothing else here holds any terrors for an inquisitive lay reader.

British filmmaker Terence Young, who was born in Shanghai, began working in the movie business as a screenwriter specializing in comedy at the age of 21 (in 1936).
Its success, and that of the follow-up film From Russia With Love (1963), established the series and the hero (as well as Sean Connery), but Young pulled out of Goldfinger (1964) during pre-production when the producers refused to cut him in for a percentage of the profits.
Young's career from this point on went into gradual decline, as he became involved in difficult international productions, big-budget flops (Mayerling), or politically disreputable films such as Inchon (1982) (financed by the Unification Church).

I chose the Easter weekend of March 27th to March 30th because of the earthquake that devastated Anchorage, Alaska, and its impact on me when I was young.
