Career
Young began his work as a screenwriter, earning a call for arms (1940), A Call for Arms (1939), A Letter from Ulster (1942), On Approval (1944).
He returned to assist Hurst with the script of Theirs Is the Glory in 1946, which told the tale of the fighting around Arnhem Bridge. Arnhem, coincidentally, was home to an adolescent Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn and Young joked that he had been shelling his favorite actress without even knowing it during the filming of Young's Wait Until Dark.
Young was on the screenplays for Hurst's Hungry Hill (1947) and David McDonald's Bad Lord Byron (1949).
Corridor of Mirrors (1948), France's best-known film, was Young's first sole credit as director (and also Christopher Lee's film debut). One Night with You (1948), a comedy with Stewart Granger; and They Were Not Divided (1950), based on his own experience in the Irish Guards, was followed by him. Young also produced Valley of Eagles (1951) and The Tall Headlines (1952).
The Red Beret with Alan Ladd made the first film for Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli's Warwick Films.
Young made That Lady (1955) in Spain with Olivia de Havilland and Storm Over the Nile (1955), a roughly shot-for-shot reconstruction of the 1939 film The Four Feathers.
Warwick recruited Young back to do Safari (1956), a film about Mau Mau Mau Mau Mau Mau (with Victor Mature). He did Zarak (1957), later with Mature, for the same company.
MGM recruited him to make Action of the Tiger (1957) with Van Johnson; a younger Sean Connery had a supporting role. Young's fourth film for Warwick (1958) and his third with Mature were Young's fourth and third. He made Serious Charge (1959), Cliff Richard's debut film; Too Hot to Handle (1960) in France; and Duel of Champions (1961) in Italy with Alan Ladd.
Albert Broccoli and Irving Allen's time as a production team had dissolved, and Broccoli and Harry Saltzman formed an alliance with Harry Saltzman to produce a series of James Bond films based on the James Bond novels. During his time at Warwick for the first Bond films, Broccoli used several members of the crew, including Young as director. Young was a vital part of Dr. No (1962), including the selection of Sean Connery to play Bond. "Terence took Sean under his wing," actress Lois Maxwell later said. He took him to dinner, taught him how to walk, how to talk, and even how to eat."
The film was a huge success and was quickly followed by From Russia with Love (1963), which was an even bigger hit. During the filming, a young and a photographer nearly drowned when their helicopter crashed into the sea while filming a crucial scene. Other members of the film crew had to rescue them. After being rescued, Young was back behind the camera 30 minutes later.
Young was flooded with offers and was unable to control Goldfinger. Rather, he created The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders (1965). Young was in Thunderball (1965), the fourth Bond film.
He was handed over and turned down the direction of Bond films For Your Eyes Only and Never Say Never Again, according to Young.
Following Thunderball, the bulk of Young's work was in Europe.
Young was part of the 1965 spy portmanteau film The Dirty Game. He narrated Atout C's á Tokyo, 57 (1966), as well as directed the all-star The Poppy Is Also a Flower (1966). He followed this with Triple Cross (1966), and The Rover (1967). With Wait Until Dark, Audrey Hepburn, the young had a hit. He said in a 1967 interview that his three best films were Black Tights, From Russia with Love, and They Were Not Divided.
Mayerling (1968), with Omar Sharif and The Christmas Tree (1969), with William Holden, were later directed.
He made three films with Charles Bronson, including Cold Sweat (1970), Red Sun (1972) and The Valachi Papers (1972).
War Goddess (a.k.a.) was one of Young's later films. (1973) and The Klansman (1974) (replacing Samuel Fuller). He appeared on Jackpot, but the movie was never complete.
Bloodline (1979), Inchon (1981), The Jigsaw Man (1983), Run for Your Life (1988). When Olivier first offered Henry V (1944) to Young, who turned down, Olivier and Young had been friends since 1943. He received the Razzie Award for Inchon at the 3rd Golden Raspberry Awards in 1983.
Young was instrumental in the screenplay for the Hong Kong film Foxbat (1977), which resulted in him being named co-director in several regions. Young was the editor of The Long Days (Al-ayyam al-tawila), a six-hour Iraqi telenovela about Saddam Hussein's life, which culminated in him being recognized as co-director in some regions.
