A former British music hall performer, John Harlow entered films as a writer/director in 1940. Harlow's first directorial effort was Spellbound (1940), aka The Spell of Amy Nugent, an entertaining exposé of phony spiritualists. He subsequently turned out such melodramas as Candles at Nine (1943). On a less lofty level, John Harlow labored away on a few of the "Sexton Blake" programmers and "Old Mother Riley" comedies.
