Sad to say Michael Winner died yesterday of a disease caught a couple of years ago from eating fish whilst on holiday abroad . Thanks for everything Michael from the films and the laughs.You certainly did it your way.

He, for quite a long time, had been doing a 'food review' in one of the 'Sundies' - The Times I think.
While I was back in the UK just before Christmas he suddenly announced that he had done his last one.
He never actually said why, although I think it is pretty obvious that he was in quite ill health by then..

Certainly not my favourite director & the Car Insurance adverts finally did it for me.
However it was very unusual to hear anyone that knew him say a bad word about him, so probably a huge difference between his 'public' persona & how he actually was in person..

R.I.P.

I agree.
When MW showed Charles Bronson the script for Death Wish, he asked him what he thought of it. CB replied: I would like to do that. No, not the movie, I would like to go out and shoot muggers.
