王天林 | WONG Tin Lam
小傳

1927年9月11日生於上海,原籍浙江紹興。1935年來港,曾在香港培正中學就讀。1947年,在叔父王鵬翼引薦下,開始參與電影工作,曾擔任電影場記、錄音、助導等崗位,亦做過電影沖印、剪輯等工作。1950年開始執導,第一部是粵語片《峨嵋飛劍俠》,那時王天林不過二十三歲。他的成名作是與張善琨聯手執導的國語片《桃花江》,由「小野貓」鍾情、羅維、陳厚等主演,掀起了國語歌唱片的潮流。

1958年拍攝《地下火花》時,在泰國認識了電懋的宋淇,回港後即獲其推薦加入電懋,並一直留至七十年代初的國泰時期。王天林在電懋的日子,可說是其電影生涯的黃金時期,拍了許多出色的作品,包括獲得第七屆亞洲影展最佳導演的《家有喜事》(1959)、《樑上佳人》(1959)、《野玫瑰之戀》(1960)、《南北和》(1961)、《教我如何不想她》(1963)、《啼笑姻緣》(1964)等。其中《野玫瑰之戀》更成為香港歌舞片的經典之作。拍國語片之餘,他也拍過不少粵語片,很多是以黃飛鴻、方世玉為主角的武俠片,也有文藝片如《翠樓春曉》(1960)、《福慧雙修》(1962)等。早於五十年代,他還執導過不少潮語片和廈語片。王天林是一位多產導演,作品幾近二百部。

70年代初,粵語片盛極而衰,王天林曾賦閒一年多,沒有工作。至1973年,由鍾景輝推薦加入無綫電視任監製,製作了多齣民初劇和古裝劇集。由他監製的名劇包括《啼笑姻緣》、《書劍恩仇錄》、《楚留香》、《京華春夢》、《萬水千山總是情》等等,對香港本土電視劇的發展有深遠影響。他執導的最後一部影片是《懵佬,大賊,傻偵探》(1980)。其後偶然會在電影和電視劇中客串演出,2002年獲金紫荊終身成就獎。2010年11月16日晚上8時30分,於香港浸會醫院去世。跟他同樣多產的電影導演王晶,是他的兒子。
