When Harry Met Cubby: The Story of the James Bond Producers
“Would have delighted Fleming himself.” —New York Daily News Online
The first biography of the legendary producers of the James Bond series, Harry Saltzman and Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli
ALBERT R. "CUBBY" BROCCOLI and HARRY SALTZMAN remain the most successful producing partnership in movie history.
Together they were responsible for the phenomenally successful James Bond series, separately they brought kitchen sink drama to the screen, made a star out of Michael Caine in the Harry Palmer films and were responsible for the children’s classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
But their relationship was fraught almost from the very beginning. With such contrasting personalities, their interactions often span out of control. They managed to drive away their coveted star, Sean Connery, and ultimately each other. Loved and hated in equal measure, respected and feared by their contemporaries, few people have loomed as large over the film industry as Broccoli and Saltzman, yet their lives went in very different directions. Broccoli was feted as Hollywood royalty, whereas Saltzman ended up a forgotten recluse.
When Harry Met Cubby charts the changing fortunes and clashing personalities of two titans of the big screen.
