Biografía
George Roy Hill (1921-2002) liked flying from an early age. He studied music at Yale University and flew supply missions in the Pacific during the war. In the Korean War he was a flight instructor. Afterward, he became a screenwriter, producer and director of television theatre productions. He also worked directing for the stage, and he debuted in motion pictures with an adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play Period of Adjustment (1962). He shot part of the screen version of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five (1972) in Czechoslovakia, and the peak of his career came with the period gangster film The Sting (1973), which took seven Oscars. Robert Redford starred in the air adventure The Great Waldo Pepper (1975), Paul Newman headlined the 1976 hockey comedy Slap Shot, and the director cast Robin Williams in the John Irving novel adaptation The World According to Garp (1982). On three of his films (Slaughterhouse-Five, The World According to Garp, and Funny Farm) Hill worked with celebrated Czech director of photography Miroslav Ondříček.
