Saltzman, Harry

Harry Saltzman (October 27, 1915 – September 28, 1994) was a film producer best known for co-producing the James Bond film series with Albert R Broccoli until selling his share of the franchise to United Artists in 1975. He retired from the business at that point with the exception of producing the 1988 British-Italian-Yugoslavian co-production Time of the Gypsies.

Saltzman remained Broccoli’s partner up to 1974. In total, Saltzman produced nine James Bond films.

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.

Other notable productions include The Ipcress File (1965), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) (also with Broccoli), and Call Me Bwana (1963) starring Bob Hope.
