Peter Yates
Peter James Yates (24 July 1929 – 9 January 2011) was an English film director and producer. He was born in Aldershot, Hampshire.
Life and career
The son of an army officer, he attended Charterhouse School as a boy, graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and worked for some years as an actor, director and stage manager. In the 1950s he started in the film industry as a dubbing assistant and later an assistant director for Tony Richardson and J. Lee Thompson (his 1961 The Guns of Navarone).
Summer Holiday (1963), his first film as director, was a "lightweight" vehicle for Cliff Richard. Yates had directed the original Royal Court production of N.F. Simpson's play One Way Pendulum and was chosen to make the film version released in 1964. Robbery (1967), a crime thriller, is a fictionalised version of the Great Train Robbery of 1963. This led to Bullitt (1968), of which Bruce Weber has written, "Mr. Yates’s reputation probably rests most securely on “Bullitt” (1968), his first American film – and indeed, on one particular scene, an extended car chase that instantly became a classic."Frank P. Keller won the Academy Award for film editing on Bullitt. After Bullitt, Yates would do action films, but would intermix them with comedy and drama films.

Famous quotes by Peter Yates:
"I know how well Kerry has prepared James for his new challenge. PBL is very fortunate to have such a clear and long-term succession planning process in place."
"The so-called forecasts appear to be nothing more than the result of a computer modelling exercise. The assumptions on which this model is based are deficient in both substance and detail."
"Were we to continue we would have to keep on reserve A$300 million of capital. We just don't want to do that."

Peter James Yates (24 July 1929[1] – 9 January 2011) was an English film director and producer.
Biography[edit]
Early life[edit]
Yates was born in Aldershot, Hampshire.[2] The son of an army officer, he attended Charterhouse School as a boy, graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and worked for some years as an actor, director and stage manager. He directed plays in London and New York. He also spent two years as racing manager for Stirling Moss and Peter Collins.[3]
Early film industry jobs and assistant director[edit]
In the 1950s he started in the film industry doing odd jobs such as dubbing foreign films and editing documentaries. He eventually became a leading assistant director.
He was an assistant director to Mark Robson on The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958), Terence Young on Serious Charge (1959) with Cliff Richard, Terry Bishop on Cover Girl Killer (1959), Guy Hamilton on A Touch of Larceny (1960), Jack Cardiff on Sons and Lovers (1960), Tony Richardson on The Entertainer (1960) and A Taste of Honey (1961), J. Lee Thompson on The Guns of Navarone (1961) and José Quintero on The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961).[4]).
Through the influence of Richardson, he directed Albee's The American Dream and The Death of Bessie Smith at London's Royal Court Theatre.[5]
Early features as director[edit]
Yates' first feature as director was Summer Holiday (1963), a "lightweight"[6] vehicle for Cliff Richard. It was the second most popular movie at the British box office in 1963.[7]
Yates had seen the original Royal Court production of N.F. Simpson's play One Way Pendulum and got the job of making the film version released in 1964. It was produced by Michael Deeley. The movie was not widely seen.[8][9]
During the mid 1960s, Yates directed episodes of television, notably The Saint and Danger Man.
Yates' third feature as director was the heist film Robbery (1967), a fictionalised version of the Great Train Robbery of 1963 starring Stanley Baker and produced by Deeley.[10]
Bullitt and Hollywood[edit]
Robbery was a critical success in the US and led to an offer to direct Bullitt (1968), of which Bruce Weber has written, "Mr. Yates's reputation probably rests most securely on Bullitt (1968), his first American film – and indeed, on one particular scene, an extended car chase that instantly became a classic."[11]
Yates later said, "In Hollywood back then, everyone knew a British director couldn't do action, so I think the studio had another motive in letting me come over. I think the reason they let McQueen bring me in was because if they let him have his way, they'd get him out of the studio – and out of their hair – for a while."[12]
Yates moved to New York. "A filmmaker must go where the stories are," he said.[13]
Bullitt was a huge success. Yates signed a contract with the Mirisch Company to make four films over seven years.[14]
Yates followed Bullitt with a romantic comedy, John and Mary (1969) with Dustin Hoffman and Mia Farrow. "I like to change the kind of stories I do," said Yates. "If you're not careful, you get pigeonholed and sooner or later someone better will come along."[15]
In 1970, Yates said he would make Don Quixote with Richard Burton but the project stalled.[16] Instead he did a war film with Peter O'Toole produced by Deeley, Murphy's War (1971).
Yates did another heist film, The Hot Rock (1972), based on a novel by Donald Westlake starring Robert Redford from a William Goldman script. After this he was going to make The Leatherstocking Saga and Jonathan Schwartz's Almost Home but neither was made.[17]
In 1972 he signed a four picture deal with Paramount which was to start with Deadly Edge from a Westlake novel.[18]
Yates stayed with crime with The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) starring Robert Mitchum. He then did two comedies: For Pete's Sake (1974) with Barbra Streisand, and Mother, Jugs & Speed (1976); he produced the latter along with writer Tom Mankiewicz.
Yates had a big commercial success with the adventure film The Deep (1977), where Mankiewicz did some uncredited writing.
Breaking Away[edit]
Yates used his clout from The Deep to raise finance for Breaking Away (1979), written by Steve Tesich, whose play The Passing Game, Yates had directed in New York. Yates produced and directed the film. Breaking Away was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Film for Yates. It led to a short-lived TV series that Yates also produced.[19]
Death[edit]
Yates died from heart failure in London on 9 January 2011. He was 81 years old.[1][26]

WORLD WAR TWO IS ENDING, WORLD WAR MURPHY HAS JUST BEGUN...
Iconic actor Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia, The Stunt Man) joins forces with director Peter Yates (Bullit, The Friends of Eddie Coyle) in this blisteringly acerbic, wildly entertaining film about the absurdity of war.
During the last days of WWII, the merchant ship 'Mount Kyle' is sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of Venezuela and the sailors machine-gunned in the water. Only Murphy (O'Toole) survives, making his way to shore where he is nursed to health by Dr. Hayden (Sian Phillips), a pacifist Quaker who runs a missionary settlement near the mouth of the Orinoco River. When Murphy discovers that the U-boat is now hiding further up the river using the jungle for cover, he becomes obsessed with retribution and begins a one man war to sink the German U-boat, no matter the cost.
With a script by Stirling Silliphant (In the Heat of the Night, The Poseidon Adventure), cinematography by the legendary Douglas Slocombe (The Italian Job, Raiders of the Lost Ark) and a supporting cast that includes Philippe Noiret (La Grande Bouffe, Cinema Paradiso) and Horst Janson (Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter, Shout at the Devil), Murphy's War is an underseen gem.

Peter Yates VT vs. Josh Asper UMD 165lbs 5th Place Match NCAA D1 Wrestling Championship 2012
Georgia Archives Match of the Week #5
Peter Yates vs Josh Asper was a nice rivalry throughout college. As much as they met in the ACC’s, the most important one mattered at the NCAA Tournament for 5th Place back in 2012. Peter came out with the 13-7 victory capitalizing off of two huge moves in the match. I asked Peter about the match and to quote him, “Asper was so F*$#^?! strong”.
Peter is one of the greatest wrestlers we’ve seen in recent years to come out of Georgia. He’s been a huge advocate of giving back as well, having been a figure in the coaching circuit throughout Georgia since graduating from Virginia Tech. He started out as a super stud in youth being one of the most well-known Arturo Holmes products out of TWC. Then he would go on to win three State Championships with a 161-1 career record for Salem High School, having his only loss coming in the State Finals to another All-Time Georgia Great Garrison Goins, who ended his career as a 4x State Champion for Ringgold. (If anybody has the film from that match, please send ASAP). Peter also won the Beast of the East, was an All-American at Fargo, and the Dave Schutz Award winner while in high school. The continuation of his career took place in the likes of Virginia Tech where he become a 4x NCAA Qualifier, 2x ACC Champion, 2x NCAA All-American, and finished second most in Virginia Tech history with 131 career wins. After college, Peter went on to mentor many young wrestlers throughout Georgia. He worked with several different clubs throughout Georgia. However, he finally settled north of Atlanta with his own wrestling club. Teknique Wrestling is his current home where he is producing numerous amounts of studs looking to be the future faces of Georgia Wrestling.

He was an assistant director to Mark Robson on The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958), Terence Young on Serious Charge (1959) with Cliff Richard, Terry Bishop on Cover Girl Killer (1959), Guy Hamilton on A Touch of Larceny (1960), Jack Cardiff on Sons and Lovers (1960), Tony Richardson on The Entertainer (1960) and A Taste of Honey (1961), J. Lee Thompson on The Guns of Navarone (1961) and José Quintero on The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961).[4]).
Through the influence of Richardson, he directed Albee's The American Dream and The Death of Bessie Smith at London's Royal Court Theatre.[5]
Early features as director[edit]
Yates' first feature as director was Summer Holiday (1963), a "lightweight"[6] vehicle for Cliff Richard. It was the second most popular movie at the British box office in 1963.[7]
Yates had seen the original Royal Court production of N.F. Simpson's play One Way Pendulum and got the job of making the film version released in 1964. It was produced by Michael Deeley. The movie was not widely seen.[8][9]
During the mid 1960s, Yates directed episodes of television, notably The Saint and Danger Man.
Yates' third feature as director was the heist film Robbery (1967), a fictionalised version of the Great Train Robbery of 1963 starring Stanley Baker and produced by Deeley.[10]
Bullitt and Hollywood[edit]
Robbery was a critical success in the US and led to an offer to direct Bullitt (1968), of which Bruce Weber has written, "Mr. Yates's reputation probably rests most securely on Bullitt (1968), his first American film – and indeed, on one particular scene, an extended car chase that instantly became a classic."[11]
Yates later said, "In Hollywood back then, everyone knew a British director couldn't do action, so I think the studio had another motive in letting me come over. I think the reason they let McQueen bring me in was because if they let him have his way, they'd get him out of the studio – and out of their hair – for a while."[12]
Yates moved to New York. "A filmmaker must go where the stories are," he said.[13]
Bullitt was a huge success. Yates signed a contract with the Mirisch Company to make four films over seven years.[14]
Yates followed Bullitt with a romantic comedy, John and Mary (1969) with Dustin Hoffman and Mia Farrow. "I like to change the kind of stories I do," said Yates. "If you're not careful, you get pigeonholed and sooner or later someone better will come along."[15]
In 1970, Yates said he would make Don Quixote with Richard Burton but the project stalled.[16] Instead he did a war film with Peter O'Toole produced by Deeley, Murphy's War (1971).
Yates did another heist film, The Hot Rock (1972), based on a novel by Donald Westlake starring Robert Redford from a William Goldman script. After this he was going to make The Leatherstocking Saga and Jonathan Schwartz's Almost Home but neither was made.[17]
In 1972 he signed a four picture deal with Paramount which was to start with Deadly Edge from a Westlake novel.[18]
Yates stayed with crime with The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) starring Robert Mitchum. He then did two comedies: For Pete's Sake (1974) with Barbra Streisand, and Mother, Jugs & Speed (1976); he produced the latter along with writer Tom Mankiewicz.
Yates had a big commercial success with the adventure film The Deep (1977), where Mankiewicz did some uncredited writing.
Breaking Away[edit]
Yates used his clout from The Deep to raise finance for Breaking Away (1979), written by Steve Tesich, whose play The Passing Game, Yates had directed in New York. Yates produced and directed the film. Breaking Away was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Film for Yates. It led to a short-lived TV series that Yates also produced.[19]
Death[edit]
Yates died from heart failure in London on 9 January 2011. He was 81 years old.[1][26]

WORLD WAR TWO IS ENDING, WORLD WAR MURPHY HAS JUST BEGUN...
Iconic actor Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia, The Stunt Man) joins forces with director Peter Yates (Bullit, The Friends of Eddie Coyle) in this blisteringly acerbic, wildly entertaining film about the absurdity of war.
During the last days of WWII, the merchant ship 'Mount Kyle' is sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of Venezuela and the sailors machine-gunned in the water. Only Murphy (O'Toole) survives, making his way to shore where he is nursed to health by Dr. Hayden (Sian Phillips), a pacifist Quaker who runs a missionary settlement near the mouth of the Orinoco River. When Murphy discovers that the U-boat is now hiding further up the river using the jungle for cover, he becomes obsessed with retribution and begins a one man war to sink the German U-boat, no matter the cost.
With a script by Stirling Silliphant (In the Heat of the Night, The Poseidon Adventure), cinematography by the legendary Douglas Slocombe (The Italian Job, Raiders of the Lost Ark) and a supporting cast that includes Philippe Noiret (La Grande Bouffe, Cinema Paradiso) and Horst Janson (Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter, Shout at the Devil), Murphy's War is an underseen gem.

Peter Yates VT vs. Josh Asper UMD 165lbs 5th Place Match NCAA D1 Wrestling Championship 2012
Georgia Archives Match of the Week #5
Peter Yates vs Josh Asper was a nice rivalry throughout college. As much as they met in the ACC’s, the most important one mattered at the NCAA Tournament for 5th Place back in 2012. Peter came out with the 13-7 victory capitalizing off of two huge moves in the match. I asked Peter about the match and to quote him, “Asper was so F*$#^?! strong”.
Peter is one of the greatest wrestlers we’ve seen in recent years to come out of Georgia. He’s been a huge advocate of giving back as well, having been a figure in the coaching circuit throughout Georgia since graduating from Virginia Tech. He started out as a super stud in youth being one of the most well-known Arturo Holmes products out of TWC. Then he would go on to win three State Championships with a 161-1 career record for Salem High School, having his only loss coming in the State Finals to another All-Time Georgia Great Garrison Goins, who ended his career as a 4x State Champion for Ringgold. (If anybody has the film from that match, please send ASAP). Peter also won the Beast of the East, was an All-American at Fargo, and the Dave Schutz Award winner while in high school. The continuation of his career took place in the likes of Virginia Tech where he become a 4x NCAA Qualifier, 2x ACC Champion, 2x NCAA All-American, and finished second most in Virginia Tech history with 131 career wins. After college, Peter went on to mentor many young wrestlers throughout Georgia. He worked with several different clubs throughout Georgia. However, he finally settled north of Atlanta with his own wrestling club. Teknique Wrestling is his current home where he is producing numerous amounts of studs looking to be the future faces of Georgia Wrestling.

Summer Holiday (1963), his first film as director, was a "lightweight" vehicle for Cliff Richard. Yates had directed the original Royal Court production of N.F. Simpson's play One Way Pendulum and was chosen to make the film version released in 1964. Robbery (1967), a crime thriller, is a fictionalised version of the Great Train Robbery of 1963.

Better Days
by: Bruce SpringsteenWell my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
While it was all just slippin' away
I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
And a woman I can call my friend
These are better days baby
Yeah there's better days shining through
These are better days baby
Better days with a girl like you
Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
It's sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
Your heart like a diamond shone
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
Out of these hard luck bones
These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
There's better days shining through
Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
And turning his heart to stone
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
And I feel like I'm comin' home
These are better days baby
There's better days shining through
These are better days
Better days with a girl like you
These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
