Sorry but never heard that Losey was ever married to Melina Mercouri (she
was married to Jules Dassin), but to Elisabeth Hawes... His son Gavrick was
a big rock promoter and film producer and I had the pleasure to meet him in
London UK many many years ago (83-84...)...as I understand he was 1st AD on
Modesty Blaise and PM on Lindsayıs Andersonıs If...
