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.
