"THE ORSON WELLES OF SALFORD"

Cliff Twemlow was a nightclub bouncer, novelist, composer, screen-writer, ferryman and actor ... read all about him in this book!

Between 1982 and 1993, Cliff Twemlow gathered together a trusty ensemble of stuntmen, performers, actors and a dedicated technical crew to set up his own mini-Hollywood in Manchester, England. Cliff and his crew created hard-hitting gangster films (GBH and GBH2-Lethal Impact), spy thrillers for which they extended their locations to Barbados, the Balearics and Grenada (Target Eve Island and The Ibiza Connection) and science fiction/horror movies (Firestar: First Contact, Moonstalker and The Eye of Satan).

Packed with martial arts action, snappy dialogue, sex and gunplay, these movies are brought back to life in this book. With valuable insights from some of Cliff’s key collaborators including BRETT SINCLAIR, BRIAN STERLING-VETE, DAVID KENT-WATSON, GINETTE GRAY, JOHN SAINT RYAN, MAXTON G BEESLEY, STEVE POWELL, STUART HURST and Cliff’s son BARRY TWEMLOW, here is a fresh look at the lost world of this Man-Man-Man-Mancunian telling how he created his own innovative film industry on a shoe-string.

CP LEE and ANDY WILLIS have written extensively about film and popular culture. Together, they pay tribute to this 20th century renaissance man and all his fans who enjoyed nothing better than coming home from the pub and having a great time watching one of Cliff’s movies on video.
