Charles Sturridge

Charles Sturridge (born June 24, 1951) is a British television and movie director.

Born in London, he directed TV's Coronation Street (1972) by his early twenties and gained international recognition for his work on the much-praised, eleven part Brideshead Revisited (1981). Sturridge has made four assured forays into feature films, including the lyrically sculpted black-and-white segment, "La Forza del Destino" from Aria (1986).

With a particular affinity for handsomely executed period films and rich literary adaptations, he filmed another Evelyn Waugh novel, A Handful of Dust (1988) and the lushly beautiful and brilliantly acted film version of E. M. Forster's first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1992).
