Robert Hakim (19 December 1907 – 9 February 1992) and Raymond Hakim (23 August 1909 – 14 August 1980) were Egyptian-born brothers who usually worked in collaboration as film producers in France and other European countries. Their brother André Hakim is also a film producer. Initially working for the American company Paramount, they formed the company Paris-Film Production in 1934,〔Liz-Anne Bawden (ed) ''The Oxford Companion to Film'', 1976, Oxford: OUP, p316〕 and financed Julien Duvivier's ''Pépé le Moko'' in 1936, Jean Renoir's ''La Bête Humaine'' (1938) and Marcel Carné's ''Le Jour se lève'' (''Daybreak'' 1939), all starring Jean Gabin, before the brothers emigrated to the United States. After the war they worked on several American films, including Renoir's ''The Southerner'' (1945) and ''The Long Night'', a remake of ''Le Jour se lève'' with Henry Fonda. In 1950 they returned to France and embarked on producing films aimed at an international audience. ''Casque d'or'' (1953) effectively launched the career of Simone Signoret and ''Plein Soleil'' (1960) did the same for Alain Delon. ''Notre Dame de Paris'' with Anthony Quinn as Quasimodo and Gina Lollobrigida as Esmeralda was internationally successful, but not critically well received. In the 1960s they made two films with a ''nouvelle vague'' director, Claude Chabrol with ''À double tour'' (1959) and ''Les Bonnes Femmes'' (1960), but worked with older directors (Luis Buñuel ''Belle de jour'' 1968) sometimes relatively new to international audiences (Michelangelo Antonioni ''L'Eclisse'' 1962). They also worked with Roger Vadim on a remake of ''La Ronde'' (1964), which starred Vadim's then wife, Jane Fonda. The Hakim's have a mixed reputation; American director Joseph Losey had an especially fraught relationship with them while making ''Eva'' (1962). In post-production, Losey and his team found the film had been recut during the weekend without their consultation; Losey and Robert Hakim almost came to blows. Michel Legrand was commissioned for the score without consultation too, but like actor Jeanne Moreau, was not paid any fee.〔David Caute ''Joseph Losey: A Revenge on Life'', 1994, London: Faber, p137〕 ==References== 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「Robert and Raymond Hakim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
