Biography
A former child actor, Robert Ellis Miller emerged from Harvard with the urge to direct. After toting up several impressive TV credits as a producer/director, he helmed his first theatrical feature,
Any Wednesday (1966). Since then, his big-screen output has been uneven, with such productions as
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968) and Reuben Reuben (1983) on the "plus" side, and ill-conceived efforts like
Brenda Starr (1989) in the minus column. Robert Ellis Miller's made-for-TV movies include Ishi: The Last of His Tribe (1978) and A Waltons Wedding (1995). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
