Valentine Davies (August 25, 1905 - July 23, 1961) was an American film and television writer, producer, and director. His credits included Miracle on 34th Street (1947), Chicken Every Sunday (1949), The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954), and The Benny Goodman Story (1955). He was nominated for the 1954 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Glenn Miller Story.

Davies' 1947 novel Miracle on 34th Street was adapted for the screen the same year, earning the author the Academy Award for Best Story.



Valentine Davies Video

Just in time for the re-release of their magnificent Creation Records-era back-catalogue, My Bloody Valentine from either 1989 or late 1988, interviewed by Rachel Davies for Music Box, this version was recorded from a late-night UK TV show called "Rockin In The UK" (yes, really) which was a precursor to the indie show Transmission. This is a longer version of an interview already on YouTube, I've cut out the music clips to try to avoid this being taken down.

If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it. In fact, here's a link to the wiki! en.wikipedia.org
