 Born in London on 21 December 1927, this son of James Carreras was director of Exclusive Films, Hammer Films and Bray Studios when still in his twenties. He worked exclusively for Hammer Films, as producer or executive producer, with occasional directing credits, not on the studio's major productions, but on such pieces as Parade of the Bands (1955, short), the travelogue, Copenhagen (1956), The Steel Bayonet (1957), What a Crazy World (1963, also screenplay), Slave Girls (1966, also screenplay), The Lost Continent (1968), and Shatter (UK/Hong Kong, 1974). Presumably his function was primarily to smooth the way for such directors as Terence Fisher or John Gilling, and for 30 years he was one of British cinema's busiest executives.
