Stewart Terence Herbert Young[1] (20 June 1915 – 7 September 1994) was a British[2][1][3] film director and screenwriter who worked in the United Kingdom, Europe and Hollywood.

He broke into the industry as a screenwriter, earning a credit for Brian Desmond Hurst's On the Night of the Fire (1939), which was chosen as Britain's entry for the Cannes Film Festival.

Young worked at Two Cities Films on the screenplays for Hurst's Hungry Hill (1947) and David McDonald's The Bad Lord Byron (1949).

[6] In England Young was to direct Precious Bane with Stewart Granger but that was cancelled and instead he made Woman Hater (1948), a comedy with the actor.

[7] Young directed Valley of Eagles (1951), a spy film on which he was credited on the script, which was partly shot in Sweden.

This movie was a notable success at the British box office and featured many crew who would later be significant on the Bond films - not just Allen, Broccoli and Young but also writer Richard Maibaum, camera operator Ted Moore and stuntman Bob Simmons.

[8] Young made That Lady (1955) in Spain with Olivia de Havilland, which was the first film of Paul Scofield, although it was not a commercial success.

[9] Young worked for Alex Korda onStorm Over the Nile (1955), an essentially shot-for-shot remake of the 1939 film The Four Feathers.

No Time to Die (1958), a war story set in North Africa, was Young's fourth film for Warwick, and third with Mature.

He directed an episode of Playhouse 90 called "Dark as the Night" from a novel by James Hadley Chase; it was shot in London.

Young went to Europe to makeBlack Tights (1961) in France, a ballet film, with Maurice Chevalier and Duel of Champions (1961), a peplum shot in Italy and Yugoslavia with Alan Ladd.

"[15] Young made several key contributions to the film including recruiting Sean Connery to portray Bond.

Young directed part of the 1965 espionage portmanteau film The Dirty Game starring Bourvil and Henry Fonda.

Then came the offbeat Western Red Sun (1972) co starring Ursula Andress from Dr No, Alain Delon and Toshiro Mifune; this was popular internationally.

[26] Young made War Goddess (1973), then was hired to direct The Klansman (1974) with Richard Burton and Lee Marvin.

[27] Fuller later met Young on a film festival jury, and wrote in his memoirs: Terence swore he'd never meant to squeeze me out of the picture.

[33] Young contributed to the screenplay for the Hong Kong film Foxbat (1977), which led to him being credited as co-director in some regions.

Young was the editor of The Long Days (Al-ayyam al-tawila) (1980), a six-hour Iraqi telenovela about the life of Saddam Hussein, which also led to him being credited as co-director in some regions.

Nissen later sued for divorce from Bennett alleging that the dissolution by the Norwegian government-in-exile had been invalid, and citing Young as the respondent.

Nissen's suit was upheld at first instance in March 1955 before being over-turned on appeal later the same year, with the original dissolution being found valid.

Two months later, Young telephoned LeWars at her home in Kingston and propositioned her again, asking her to fly out to London to dub her lines.

"[44] In 1968 Andrew Sarris wrote Young "did the best of the Bonds, Wait Until Dark, and the curiously memorable, baroque, and unoriginal Corridor of Mirrors.
