Entertaining look at the career of Euan Lloyd, best known for his late 70s and early 80s guys on a mission action films, notably The Wild Geese. He worked in publicity, befriended Alan Ladd during his Warwick days, got a job with Warwick via Ladd's influence, became an associate producer, then producer.
Lloyd's output was fairly unremarkable - Shalako, Catlow, Paper Tiger - but he hit a sort of golden run with those aging hero action films. I wish Who Dares Wins had been better. Obviously a cultured nice chap who thrived in the 70s; the mystery why his career faded from the mid 80s isn't really explained. Lloyd does a good interview; people like Roger Moore and Joan Armatrading (of all people) chip in their ten cents worth.
