Peter William Murton (born 22 or 24 September 1924 – December 2009) was a film art director and production designer. His father Walter W. Murton was also an art director and production designer. His son Simon Murton is also an art director. ==Career== Murton worked as an art director for production designer Ken Adam on the Stanley Kubrick film ''Dr. Strangelove''. Murton then did art direction on the next two James Bond films - ''Goldfinger'' and ''Thunderball'' - which Adam also did the production design. Murton was promoted to production designer on the 1974 Bond film ''The Man with the Golden Gun''. The production team chose Thailand as a primary location, following Murton's suggestion, after he saw pictures of the Phuket bay in a magazine. Bond film historian Steven Jay Rubin faults ''The Man with the Golden Gun'' for not making good use of Murton's sets, especially the solar energy room. "Murton's interiors were well up to the standards expected on a Bond film." Rubin believes that the responsibility for the film's artistic failure "lay elsewhere." Murton wrote an article discussing Bond film gimmicks. Murton worked with producer Harry Saltzman on six films: three Bond films, the first two Harry Palmer films, and Saltzman's unmade pet project ''The Micronauts''. On ''King Kong Lives'' Murton had to create forty miniature sets which proved a challenge. Never in his career had he to create so many miniatures at once. Further, few of the art department crew had any experience making models. 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「Peter Murton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
