In 1955 he made some documentary shorts which earned him a freelance assignment with BBC Television, for whom he produced experimental studies of Debussy, Isadora Duncan, Delius, and Richard Strauss, which gradually abandoned naturalism. He turned to feature films with Women in Love (1969), but continued with musically inspired themes in The Music Lovers (1971) and Mahler (1974).
