Saltzman was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec , Canada but moved to Britain where he entered the film business producing social dramas such as 1959 's '' Look Back In Anger '' and 1960's ''Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.'' He joined forces with "Cubby" Broccoli in 1962 to create the production company EON Productions and their first film in the James Bond series, '' Dr. No ''. Saltzman remained Broccoli's partner up to 1974 's '' The Man With The Golden Gun ''. In total, Saltzman produced nine James Bond films. In addition to the creation of EON Productions, he and Broccoli also started Danjaq, LLC , a holding company responsible for the copyright and trademarks of James Bond on screen. Danjaq is a combination of Broccoli's and Saltzman's wives' names and the parent company of EON Productions. In 1975 after financial difficulties Saltzman sold his 50% stake in Danjaq to United Artists Corporation. Other notable productions include '' The Ipcress File '' ( 1965 ), '' Chitty Chitty Bang Bang '' ( 1968 ), and '' Call Me Bwana '' ( 1963 ) starring Bob Hope . ''Call Me Bwana'' is the only film to be produced by EON Productions outside of the James Bond franchise. EXTERNAL LINKS |
