Description

'The Tuxedo Warrior' was the autobiography of author, composer, and pioneering moviemaker Cliff Twemlow.

That book ended at the beginning of Cliff's prolific moviemaking period, which lasted from the late 1970s/dawn of the '80s until his untimely death in 1993. Many have called this the 'Golden Age of Video Cinematography'.

This book, Tuxedo Warriors, continues the story from the point where the original book ends.

It is told by Brian Sterling-Vete, who is now the only person remaining who can tell the complete story. At the end, there is a media gallery of never previously released personal pictures, script covers, posters, PR material and press clippings.

Tuxedo Warriors is the most complete private and professional biography of Cliff Twemlow ever written and is the autobiography of Brian Sterling-Vete during that period.

Beginning in the late 70s, Brian played a central role in the story of Cliff Twemlow's personal and professional life as the two friends traversed the globe on many previously untold adventures as guerrilla moviemakers in Iceland and the Arctic Circle, in the Mediterranean, in parts of North Africa, in a war zone, on tramp-steamer journeys across the ocean, and road trips across continents.

Cliff and his work have become better known recently because movie enthusiasts have been discovering the treasure trove of classic movie clips online.

University lecturers Chris Lee and Andy Willis also helped with their excellent book, 'The Lost World of Cliff Twemlow: The King of Manchester Exploitation Movies, ' by teaching students at their universities about Cliff Twemlow, his movies, and his loyal team.

However, the wider world has suddenly learned all about Cliff Twemlow after being propelled into 'cult' status by the LA-based production company Severin Films, who are re-releasing Cliff's entire portfolio of films in the summer of 2025.

Based mainly on this book, they produced a stunning, multi-award-winning 120-minute documentary, Mancunian Man.

This premiered with a prestigious red carpet launch on August 27th, 2023, at The Empire IMAX Cinema in Leicester Square, London, and was followed by releases and regional premieres in the USA and Australia.

The trailer for the 'Mancunian Man' documentary can easily be found on Amazon, YouTube, and TUBI.

The documentary, directed by Jake West, has received rave reviews from movie critics and magazines worldwide.

The 'Mancunian Man' documentary contains never-before-seen footage and interviews with all the extraordinary surviving characters who were part of this unique and compelling story and were pioneers during this pivotal and innovative period in the history of world cinema.

Tuxedo Warriors is the only book that tells the complete story of all of Cliff Twemlow's movies, together with his true behind-the-scenes life story from 1977 until he died in 1993.
