Donald Robert Ivar Campbell (8 September 1904 – 19 May 1985) was a New Zealand-British screenwriter and film director.[1]
Campbell was born in New Zealand in 1904 to Lt-Col Robert Ormus Campbell and Beatrice (née Cadell).[2] . He married Sheila Milligan on 14 July 1934 at Littleton Church, near Shepperton. In 1939, he was a farmer in Devon, living with his wife, a film scenario writer, and widowed mother, Beatrice.[3] In 1950 he appears to own a fishing boat.[4]
In 1951, he was living at the infamous Knowstone Manor in Devon, a swastika-shaped farmhouse built in 1938 by a German fascist.[5][6]
In 1960, Campbell and his wife purchased Tiverton Castle in Devon which was inherited by his nephew, Angus, in 1985.[7] Sheila Campbell is credited as a writer on Belles of St Clements, Feather Your Nest and Expert Opinion.[8]
