Al Clark (born in Huelva, Spain) is an Australian film producer.[1] He is best known for his producer role on The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and his executive producer role on the film, Chopper.[2][3] Clark is also the author of four books. Time Flies and Time Flies Too are Clark's memoirs,[4][5][6] which merge the early days of punk and new wave popular music with the truncated British film renaissance of the 1980s and the world of international film finance, and later chronicle his move to Australia and his work there.[4] Clark's first book Raymond Chandler in Hollywood[7] provides an insight into the work of the writer of detective fiction and includes interviews with many of the Hollywood figures who were associated with Raymond Chandler and his films. His second book Making Priscilla, also titled The Lavender Bus: How a Hit Movie Was Made and Sold, is a behind-the-scenes tale outlining the follies of film-making and how The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert became an international success.[8]
