Written By: Philip Eno on 02/10/23 at 1:35 pm

Chariots of Fire director Hugh Hudson has died aged 86 following a short illness.

His family said in a statement the "beloved husband and father", died at Charing Cross Hospital in London on Friday.

He is survived by his wife Maryam, his son Thomas and his first wife Sue.

Actor Nigel Havers, who starred in the 1981 film about the story of two British runners in the 1920s, said he was "beyond devastated" by his death.

He added: "Chariots of Fire was one of the greatest experiences of my professional life, and, like so many others, I owe much of what followed to him. I shall miss him greatly."

I never did see that movie, but I did see his films Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord Of The Apes (1984) and I Dreamed Of Africa (2000).  R.I.P. to a wonderful director who made some great films!
