About Tony Richardson
Tony Richardson helped launch Woodfall Films and the British New Wave after directing John Osborne's Look Back in Anger on stage. His early features Look Back in Anger in 1959, The Entertainer in 1960 with Laurence Olivier, A Taste of Honey in 1961 with Rita Tushingham, and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner in 1962 with Tom Courtenay stayed close to working class stories and location shooting.
Tom Jones in 1963 with Albert Finney won best picture and best director and changed his career scale. The Loved One in 1965 took him to Hollywood satire, The Charge of the Light Brigade followed in 1968, and Blue Sky arrived in 1994 after his death in 1991, earning Jessica Lange an Oscar. Watch in release order to see the style widen film by film.
Good to know
These films are standalone stories with no shared plot, so there is no separate chronological order to follow. Blue Sky was shot in 1990 and released in 1994, three years after Richardson died of complications from AIDS on November 14, 1991. Start with A Taste of Honey or Tom Jones for the most accessible entry, then circle back to Look Back in Anger. This guide covers eight key titles, not every TV credit or late studio job.
