Clifford 'Bobo' Nesbit, film director


Clifford 'Bobo' Nesbit (1901 - 1950) was a film director whose career was cut short by a lack of any discernable talent.




Clifford cut his his teeth on a series of documentary newsreels for British Movietone News before graduating to directing a series of cheaply-made and unmemorable movie farces in the early 1940's. These films, including 'Monkeying Around', 'Yes, We Have No Bananas' and 'More Monkeying Around' did nothing to raise the morale of the British public in the early days of World War Two.


Clifford's movie career, whose movie career was convinced that his fall from grace was due t0 prejudice, faded from the public eye following his affair with Cynthia Berryman, a gorilla married star of one of his films
