Anthony Martin Kimmins (born 10 November 1901 – 19 May 1964) was an English director, playwright, screenwriter, producer and actor.
Kimmins was born in Harrow, London on 10 November 1901, the son of the social activists Charles William Kimmins and Grace Kimmins. He served in the Royal Navy, and upon leaving the navy he became an actor.
His first directorial assignment was Keep Fit. Kimmins wrote and directed many of George Formby's best comedies. During World War II he returned to the Navy, running the Navy newspaper in Sydney during the Pacific war.
After the war he produced an eclectic mix of films, such as the psychological thriller Mine Own Executioner (1947), Bonnie Prince Charlie (1948) and Mr. Denning Drives North (1951). In the 1950s Kimmin's work included the Sir Alec Guinness comedy The Captain's Paradise and the children's Smiley series of films. His final film harked back to his early days – it was The Amorous Prawn (1962).
He was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1961 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC Television Theatre.

Another film lampoon for Worthington Best Bitter, this time on not War and Peace, but Anthony Kimmins' Bonnie Prince Charlie. Featuring stop-mo animation by Denis Russo and 2D animation by Jerry Hibbert.
With a cast featuring British film icons Dennis Price, Ian Carmichael and Cecil Parker, screenplay and direction by Anthony Kimmins and a score by legendary composer John Barry, The Amorous Prawn is a stellar feature in every respect. Starring Joan Greenwood as a general's wife whose moneyspinning manoeuvre causes ructions in their Highlands HQ, this entertainingly boisterous comedy – adapting Kimmins' long-running West-End stage hit – is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio. - See more at: http://networkonair.com/shop/2306-amorous-prawn-the-5027626421144.html#sthash.Ubxn4Ohy.dpuf
