Rodney Amateau

• Date of Birth:

  29 June 1923 New York City, New York, USA

Starting out as a radio writer, Rodney Amateau began his film career as a second-unit director before getting a chance to direct his own features in the early 1950s. Not meeting with much success, he soon turned to directing TV series, which he did for many years before returning to film directing in the 1970s. This time his films met with more financial success, being mostly softcore "T&A" romps and unfunny sex comedies.
