British director Robert Asher began his film career in 1934 as an assistant director, and in that capacity worked with such directors as Roy Ward Baker and Anthony Pelissier. He became a director in 1959 with the Norman Wisdom comedy Follow a Star (1959). He and Wisdom were a good team, and Asher shot several more Wisdom comedies before making his last one with the comedian, Press for Time (1966). By this time film projects were harder and harder for Asher to come by, and he turned to television, directing episodes of such fondly remembered shows as Patrick McGoohan's classic The Prisoner (1967).
