When Muriel Box was sixteen, she had her first film experience, as an extra in a crowd scene. By 1925 she was employed in the industry, as a secretary. By the 1930s she had been听promoted to script editor for Gaumont Pictures. Here she met her husband, the playwright Sydney Box, and they began working together.
During the Second World War, Muriel began directing government documentaries, although she was stopped from making a film about road safety for children because the subject was considered too gruesome for a woman. After the war, she and Sydney turned to feature films, winning an Oscar for Best Screenplay for their 1946 epic, The Seventh Veil. In 1958, she made what she always described as her favourite film, The Truth about Women, which looked at women's lot in the twentieth century.
