The production line: Reflections on the role of the producer in British cinema

Spicer, Andrew H.

Authors



Abstract

A film producer has two responsibilities: to the public and to his backers. If he is an imaginative and courageous producer, the two may coincide. The ideal producer, it seems to me, must always look ahead and try not merely to acquiesce in box-office trends but to lead public opinion and gauge future audience requirements.
