The Man in the Iron Mask (1977), a made-for-television film, was his first feature-length film. Bad Blood (1981), Jack Thompson's first critically acclaimed film, was about Stan Graham, the New Zealand mass-killer, whose murderer Stan Graham was played by Jack Thompson. This was followed by Dance with a Stranger (1985), a biographical drama starring Miranda Richardson as Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in the United Kingdom. Newell received the Award of the Youth at the Cannes Film Festival in 1985 for his directorial efforts.
