The sister of British filmmaker Sydney Box and the wife of Carry On producer Peter Rogers, Betty E. Box worked as her brother's assistant on a series of wartime British instructional and propaganda films. Promoted to full producer, Box was put in charge of Islington studios in 1947. Most of her productions of the late 1940s/early 1950s were in association with director Ralph Thomas (The Clouded Yellow, Appointment with Venus, etc.) The bulk of her output was limited to programmers and potboilers. Better films include the Doctor in the House series and the 1957 version of Tale of Two Cities. Her name also proved an unfortunate double-entendre in the credits of Percy, a 1971 comedy about the world's first penis transplant. Box died in 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi LESS
