Although born in New York on 16th September 1941, he actually followed his higher studies at Kenyon College in Ohio. He later went to Brazil, where he attended the Universidade de Sao Paolo before returning to New York and studying cinema at University, coinciding among others with Martin Scorsese. McBride stood out from early on for his interest in the most experimental and underground cinema, becoming one of the principal figures of new American independent cinema. In 1967 he wrote, directed and produced his first film David Holzman's Diary, with which he caught the eye of the most demanding critics amd made himself known in Europe at the Pesaro Festival in Italy. In 1971 he directed the film considered as his first important work Glen and Randa, included by Time Magazine among the best ten of the year. McBride disappeared from New York for a time, returning in 1974 to find that things had changed quite a bit. He combined the teaching of film with taxi driving, until directing an amusing soft porn movie entitled Hot Times. His taste for and knowledge of European cinema made him the ideal director for an American remake of Godard's A bout de souffle, (Breathless) in 1983. Three years later, he filmed a jocular crooked cop movie in New Orleans, The Big Easy, with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin, thus catapulting to international fame. He came to the San Sebastián Festival with Great Balls of Fire. His links with Spain led him to direct in our country Uncovered, in 1994, an adaptation of the novel by Arturo Pérez Reverte. His latest work is The Informant.
