John English (director)
John English (25 June 1903 – 11 October 1969) was a British film editor and film director. He is most famous for the film serials he co-directed with William Witney for Republic Pictures such as Zorro's Fighting Legion and Drums of Fu Manchu.
He was credited variously as John W English, John English or Jack English.
Career
John English was born in Cumberland in the United Kingdom but moved to Canada at an early age. He first worked as a film editor before getting a break into directing at Republic in 1935.
For a period in the 1930s and 1940s, starting with Zorro Rides Again (1937), he directed Movie Serials in partnership with William Witney. It was customary at the time for two directors to work on each serial, each working on alternate days. Witney customarily worked on the action scenes while English concentrated on character and story elements. Together they are regarded as having produced the best examples of the serial medium: "most notable of all were the directing talents of William Witney and John English. Together they directed seventeen consecutive serials, honing an approach that allowed Republic serials to far outdistance the competition. They adopted a no-nonsense approach that treated the serial material with respect and rarely gave any clues that we shouldn't consider the stories seriously. Other directors would allow an element of goofiness to gradually seep into the serial. For example, few people would point to a Witney/English serial as an example of camp, unlike the Flash Gordon serials." - Gary Johnson, from Images Journal.

Words Are Not Enough
by: Jon EnglishWords are not enough
To show the way I feel abou-out you
Though the times might ge-et rough
I know that I-I-I-I, I will always want you
Times gone by, I never knew
What a woman in love could really do
People say love just comes and goes
But with you sweet babe
This never could be true...
Time is not long enough
To do all the things you want to do-oo
So I'm gonna make sure that I spend my time
Lyin' here, lyin' here with you...
Baby, you're the fire that heats my sou-oul
The warmth you give could never grow co-old
I don't know how long we'll last
As long as you're here, that's all I a...ask
The words are not enough
To show the way I feel abou-out you
Though the times might ge-et rough
I know that I-I-I-I, will always want you...
Ooh-ooh, you're the fire that heats my sou-oul
The warmth you give could never grow co-old
I don't know how long we'll last
As long as you're here, that's all I ask
(You're the fire) You're the fire that heats my sou-oul
The warmth you give could never grow co-old (never grow cold)
I don't know how long we'll last
As long as you're here, that's all I ask
(You're the fire) you're the fire that heats my soul (warms my soul)
The warmth you give could never grow co-old
(I don't know) I don't know how long we'll last
As long as you're here that's all I ask
