Stacpoole's The Blue Lagoon. Lee also kept busy in the theater as a director and revue writer until his permanent return to England in 1928, when he signed with Elstree Studios. From 1932 to 1941, he directed scores of low-budget British productions; one of his better projects was The Farmer's Wife, the 1941 remake of a 1928 Hitchcock silent which Lee had co-scripted. After 1943, he cut back on his film activities to concentrate on writing plays and novels. Norman Lee also wrote several fascinating and informative books about the filmmaking process: Money for Film Stories (1937), A Film is Born (1945), My Personal Log (1949) and Log of a Film Director (1949). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
