British producer Betty Box started out as a commercial artist. Her brother Sydney Box was a documentary filmmaker, and during World War II he asked Betty to join him at Verity Films. She took to it like a fish to water, and by the time the war ended she was in charge of almost a dozen documentary units at the studio. She stayed at Verity until 1946, when she was hired by Gainsborough Pictures to make features. After making several films at Gainsborough she went over to Pinewood Studios, where she turned out such well-received films as La fille aux papillons (1950) and Toubib or not toubib (1954) in partnership with director Ralph Thomas. In fact, "Doctor in the House" was such a hit that the studio insisted that she and Thomas make more of them, despite the fact that they both wanted to move on to bigger and better things. In the end, though, they turned out a string of sequels, one of which (Rendez-vous à Rio (1955)) introduced French sex kitten Brigitte Bardot to British audiences.While prolific, the quality of her output declined somewhat in the latter part of her career, and by the 1970s she and Thomas were reduced to making smarmy sex comedies such as Mon petit oiseau s'appelle Percy, il va beaucoup mieux merci ! (1971) and Percy's Progress (1974), about a young man who had the world's first penis transplant. She made her last film in 1975, and died in 1999 in London, England, of cancer. She was 83.
