Polish film producer and writer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Szlomo Benjamin Fisz (1922 – 17 November 1989) was a Polish film producer and writer, known for A Town Called Bastard, Aces High, Battle of Britain, The Heroes of Telemark and Hell Drivers.[1]
Before his film career, Fisz emigrated to the United Kingdom and became a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.[2]
Fisz entered the British film industry after the war. He began producing with four films directed by Cy Endfield. In the 1960s he began producing films about World War II, though efforts to make a film about Orde Wingate did not come to fruition.
In 1961, Fisz suggested Sean Connery to his friend Harry Saltzman for the role of James Bond while filming On the Fiddle. Fisz had also previously worked with Connery on Hell Drivers.
