Alan Parker, the versatile British film director of “Midnight Express' and “The Commitments,” dies at age 76.
Parker, whose final film was the Kevin Spacey vehicle"The Life of David Gale," earned several industry accolades over the course of his career, including a pair of Academy Award nods for directing"Midnight Express and"Mississippi Burning."
Parker was born in Islington, London, and launched his career as an advertising copywriter. He eventually went to direct and write television commercials, joining a group of influential British filmmakers — including Ridley Scott and Adrian Lyne — who pushed the envelope on small-screen advertising with movie-quality aesthetics.
Parker showed a gentler side of his cinematic personality with"The Commitments," a sweet-natured comedy that follows the travails of a blue-collar soul band in Ireland. The movie inspired a small-scale cult following on both sides of the Atlantic.
