Nigel Kneale
The same year that he left the BBC, Kneale wrote his first feature film screenplay, adapting "Quatermass II" for Hammer Film Productions along with producer Anthony Hinds and director Val Guest. Hinds and Guest had overseen the first "Quatermass" film, upon which Kneale had been unable to work due to his BBC staff contract. Kneale was disappointed that Brian Donlevy also returned in the role of Quatermass. The film premiered at the end of May 1957, and was reviewed positively in "The Times": "The writer of the original story, Mr Nigel Kneale, and the director, Mr Val Guest, between them keep things moving at the right speed, without digressions. The film has an air of respect for the issues touched on, and this impression is confirmed by the acting generally." 1957 also saw the release of another cinematic collaboration between Kneale and Guest, when Kneale adapted his 1955 BBC play "The Creature" into "The Abominable Snowman"; in this case, Hammer retained the star of the BBC version,
