Dallas Bower
Dallas Bower (25 July 1907, London18 October 1999, London) was a British director and producer active during the early development of mass media communication. Throughout his career Bower’s work spanned radio plays, television shows, propaganda shorts, animations and feature films, with his most notable projects consisting of Alfred Hitchcock’s first film in sound "Blackmail" (1929), the British Broadcasting Company’s radio play "Julius Caesar" (1938), the Dunkirk evacuation propaganda short "Channel Incident" (1940), the feature film "Henry V" (1944), and an Anglo-French adaptation of Lewis Carroll's children's novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" entitled "Alice au pays des merveilles" (1949). He later produced some of the earliest British television commercials.

The majority of Bower’s work has been lost over time, due to both degradation and the purposeful melting down of the cellulose nitrate prints to extract small amounts of silver during the Second World war, leading to the placement of some of Bower’s projects in the British Film Institute's 75 Most Wanted lost films.
