Eliot Hyman (1904–1980) was an American film executive who helped co-found Seven Arts Productions. ==Biography== Hyman was a tire dealer who entered film production after World War II and became a distributor of films for television. In 1953, he and several partners formed Associated Artists Productions which bought films from studios, notably Warner Bros., and re-sold them to television. He also began investing in such films as ''Moulin Rouge'' (1953) and ''Moby Dick'' (1956). Hyman later sold Associated Artists Productions to United Artists and became president of United Artists Associated, for whom he bought the screen rights to several successful plays and musicals. In 1957, he helped found Seven Arts Productions and played an important role in the financing of the first horror film from Hammer Film Productions, ''The Curse of Frankenstein'' (1957). In 1967, Seven Arts acquired Warner Bros. and the company became Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. In 1969, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts was sold to Kinney National Company which dropped the Seven Arts name. Hyman retired from the company and became a private investor.〔'Eliot Hyman, 75; Produced Movies', ''New York Times'' July 25, 1980〕 His son was the film producer Kenneth Hyman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eliot Hyman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
