Роберт Эллис Миллер

Some of Miller's finest work has come at the helm of TV-movies. His "Just an Old Sweet Song" (CBS, 1976), starring Tyson, won a Christopher Award and earned him a NAACP Image Award as Best Television Director. Two years later, he collaborated with screenwriters Dalton and Christopher Trumbo on "Ishi: The Last of His Tribe" (NBC), which received the Western Heritage Award. His TV-movies in the 80s included the Tuesday Weld remake of "Madame X" (NBC, 1981), "The Other Lover" (NBC, 1985), starring Lindsay Wagner, and "Intimate Strangers" (CBS, 1986), which reteamed him with Keach. Leonard Maltin praised Miller's last feature, "Bed & Breakfast" (1992), saying, "First-rate performances, and a gorgeous setting on the Maine coast, make this modest film worth seeing, especially on the small screen." Since then he has turned in some TV gems, bringing new flavor to a tried and true formula for "A Walton Wedding" (CBS, 1995) and directing a fine Depression-era drama, "Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue" (Family Channel, 1996), starring Robert Urich.
