 * Richard Burton declines Saltzman's offer to distribute X, Y and Zee, page 498, HS offered US$6M, RB hoped they wouldn't accept offer because if offered 6 it means he thought it would gross more. Burton enjoy Diamonds film though he considers it amateurish and is rather negative on Fleming's Twice.
 * Michael Munn's 1989 book Trevor Howard: The Man and His Films claims "Trevor and Bernie Lee worked on together, and from then on anyone who knew them realised that when those two got together there was going to be some high-spirited fun. Said Patrick Newell: "They [Bernard Lee and Trevor Howard] used to do some outrageous things together when they'd had a couple of beers. Like they'd crawl across the floor in restaurants pretending to be a couple of dogs. Bernie would go `Woof, woof!' and Trevor would bark back, `Get off, amigo!' They didn't really care about what other people thought. But I never heard Trevor embarrass anyone, even if he'd had one or two." Obviously the Vienna taverns became a regular haunt for Trevor who would usually be joined by Lee and sometimes Carol Reed. It was outside one of these taverns that Trevor heard an unusual musical sound that totally enchanted him. He went to investigate its source and discovered Anton Karas, a busker playing a zither. Trevor brought Karas and his zither to the ..."
 * Spoken Word, Inc. v. Steven S. A. and Another, the plaintiffs, an American corporation, had entered into an agreement with the first defendants, a Swiss company of film producers and distributors, to whom the plaintiffs agreed to advance $150,000 in connection with the making of a film by April 1, 1965, and the plaintiffs served a writ on the second defendant in England. The first defendants attempted to get the issues determined in New York, for the contract stated that it was to be interpreted according to the law of that State. They also started proceedings in Maryland, asking for a declaration that the plaintiffs were in breach of contract. The plaintiffs applied to the English court for leave to serve the first defendants with notice of the writ out of the jurisdiction, under R.S.C. Ord. 11, r.l(i)© (which gives the court jurisdiction if a person out of the jurisdiction is a necessary or proper person to an action properly brought against a person already served within the jurisdiction). It was held (C.A.: Lord Denning M.R., Davies and Widgery L.J.J.: October 16, 1968) that the application would be granted. The action against the second defendant had been properly brought. On balance, it was preferable that all the issues should be litigated and disposed of in one action. The convenient forum was the English court. The Times, October 17, 1968


 * S.W., incorporated in Maryland, had been refused leave to serve S., a Swiss company which had contracted to produce and distribute a film on the life of Pope John. The contract was to be construed according to New York law and S. had already started an action in Maryland. Saltzman, the controller of S. had already been properly served in England. On the balance the Court reversed the decision, holding that neither Switzerland nor Maryland was a convenient forum, and neither party could insist on New York. Whether this case supports a visible trend away from the bias in the defendant's favour, and towareds a balancing of all the considerations, is not clear from the summary reports at hand.

 * In 1967 composer John Barry called lawyer A. Joseph Tandet who held the rights to The Little Prince. Barry wanted to write the music for a potential film adaptation. Harry Saltzman would produce, David Lean would direct and Rudolf Nureyev would star. Unfortunately when Tandet didn't hear back from John Barry, he entered into negotiations with Paramount Pictures. John Barry phoned Tandet back: Harry Saltzman wanted Tandet to fly to London to meet him. Saltzman had the plane tickets, John Barry would book a room at The Cavendish Hotel and would meet Tandet at the airport. After going to his room, Tandet met John Barry & Barry's wife the actress Jane Birkin in the hotel's bar. Saltzman believed that Paramount only attempted to get the rights because they knew Saltzman was interested and still held a grudge against him because of a falling out on Saltzman's Second World War film Battle of Britain where the studio had sued Saltzman for defamation. Back in New York, Tandet met with Saltzman's lawyer Harry Moscowitz. In May 1967, Paramount paid Tandet $80,000 otherwise he threatened to go to Saltzman.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

1974: (independent) HS: He has an ecological science-fiction suspenser, The Mic- ronauts. scheduled to begin in June. The Anglo-Italian production is slated to star Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, James Mason and Honor Blackman, with Don Sharp directing. Lensing will take place at Rome's Cinecittà Studios. (1974 date appears to be correct as it refers to "Las Vegas Lady", a summer 1975 release which magazine claims began shooting in early May.

"He's very funny and we laughed all the way through. As an acting thing, it was not my most favorite; she was usually bewildered." Remick and Peck were scheduled to co- star in The Micronauts, directly following The Omen, "but we were told that they were not able to conquer the photographic tricks of it. That may or may not have been true. lt had a lot to do with photographing insects and fauna very large and then reducing the people to an inch in height."

Popular photography - Volume 77 - Page 16 books.google.ca/books?id=66cbAQAAMAAJ 1975 : p.16 SUPERMACRO. The soon-to-be-filmed The Micronauts, a science-fiction film, is about man's battle to survive after an ecological disaster that pits man against insects for the remaining world food supply. The people are small, the insects are giant, as this is science fiction. Thusly, the sets were built 96 times larger than a six-foot man. Sic of these six-footers could stand on the Coca Cola bottle cap in the 30-foot high blades of plastic grass. One problem Harry Saltzman (James Bond, co-producer) has is that the live ants used for the macro photography eat the sets daily.

"In June 1976 yet another twist to the Shepperton saga occurred. producer Harry Saltzman made a bid, estimated at L8 million, for the entire sixty-acre site. Unfortunately for Saltzman (and arguably for the British film industry), a deal had already been agreed between the studio board and the local authority, Spelthorne Council, for the council to purchase fourteen acres of the studio site for housing development and a further twenty acres for open space amenity. [/] According to Saltzman's Publicity Director, Tom Carlile: Basically, the purpose [of Saltzman's bid] is to stimulate American finance in England. Mr Saltzman feels that there had been a healthy pick-up at the box office world-wide. He was waiting for a response to his bid and was hopeful it would be accepted.4 Sir John Terry, Managing Director of the NFFC, had given Saltzman's bid the NFFC's blessing: This would be excellent for the British film industry. Mr Saltzman is known to believe that, with the rapid decline of the British pound, American film companies will seek the relatively cheap facilities for film production here.5 (Sir John Terry, who chose not to co-operate with research for this book, retired from the battle on 31 December 1978.) [/] Unfortunately, none of this enthusiasm for Shepperton Studios again to be run by film-makers seeped through to the studio board. Their decision to sell land to Spelthorne Council further underlined the scepticism about their repeated assurances of a film-making future for the studio. Managing Director Charles Gregson claimed: 'Owning a studio is rather like owning a racehorse. There are always punters, but Saltzman was the only other serious interseted party.'6 Saltzman's bid failed.

The production went through several directors. In 1975 (1974, actually) Don Sharp was announced to direct.

"The Micronauts is scheduled to begin filming at England's Shepperton studios after numerous delays which have caused the film's U.S. distributor, Columbia, and director, Loncralne, to withdraw from the production. Loncraine has been replaced with Ronald Neame, director of SCROOGE and THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE. No U. S. distributor has shown an interest In replacing Columbia on the $8 million budgeted picture. Delays also caused the withdrawal of stars Gregory Peck and Lee Remick. neither of whom had signed for the picture, and producer Harry Saltzman is now courting actor Charlton Heston for the lead. An estimated $1.8 million has already been expended on the picture's preproduction work, mostly in the area of special effects equipment and techniques, including revolutionary micro-photography devices developed by pharmaceutical manufacturer Smith, Kline & French. The new equipment enables separate filming of live actors and insects to be combined on negative stock without the use of mattes or conventional composite photography techniques. Script by Gordon Williams, soon to appear as a novelization in Bantam paperback, pits mankind against the insect world for survival after an ecological disaster. Because of high development costs, Saltzman already plans a sequel called THE COLONY and perhaps a sequel of films.(4:4:37)"

Allegedly paperback had blurb "Soon to be a major motion picture starring Charlton Heston!".

The production went through several directors. In 1975 (1974, actually) Don Sharp was announced to direct. In 1976 Richard Loncraine took over. Loncraine spent a year working on a "unique system of first generation matting which would allow actors and insects to be combined on the same original negative."

Ronald Neame was then signed to direct, followed by Michael Anderson. Finally special effects wizard John Stears would make his directorial debut. Stears had just won an Best Visual Effects Academy Award for his work on Star Wars; prior to this Stears had done special effects work on the earlier James Bond films which Saltzman had co-produced with Albert R. Broccoli. Stears had also won a "Special Visual Effects" Academy Award for his work on the 1965 Bond film Thunderball.

Saltzman invested much money into the doomed project that was finally shelved in 1979. http://sffrd.library.tamu.edu/search/subject/8208/

Animals in Film books.google.ca/books?isbn=1861895720 Jonathan Burt 2004 footnote #4: Oxford Scientific Films did get involved with the film producer Harry Saltzman in 1973 to provide imagery for a film about man-size insects. The film was never made, although OSF did design a large and elaborate camera for the filming of the insects. See the designs in Crowson, Animals in Focus, pp. 120-122 (Animals in focus: the business life of a natural history film unit books.google.ca/books?isbn=0904573346 Paul Spiller Crowson - 1981)

The first of these is a refinement to the optical bench that gives apparently impossible depth of field, allowing two or three focal planes to be incorporated in one camera shot. This means that the camera can include a full scale close-up and a person 10 m away in the same shot with both in focus. The device is known as an Aerial Image Bench, and works by locating the smallest foreground object in the same image plane as a lens beyond. This lens is focused on another object which then appears in focus behind the first object.

They soon realised that this had a tremendous potential for miniaturisation special effects, and many sequences in the Micronauts, Harry Saltzman's un-finished film about tiny explorers, were shot using this technique. The sequence quoted earlier involving the miniaturised man and the giant spider was also done in this way."

"Dr John Cooke introduced his paper on 'New Developments from Oxford Scientific Films', showing some incredible visuals [...] Dr Cooke showed slides of some of the equipment they had developed. One such piece was the aerial image relay bench by which, for example, a praying mantis on one stage could be superimposed against another on a stage about 18in (and normally well outside the depth of field away and against a twig on yet another well separated plane. Such a set-up had been used on the ill-fated Micronauts series when people appeared in frame with spiders on the same scale and all running around. Another development was their periscope for filming submarine life. Peter Parks developed the system of using a snorkel in which a 35mm camera peered down a series of relay lenses so that he could get to the 'grass roots' of a mangrove swamp.

"Soon after completing the film, Harry Saltzman gave Bert and Frank George two copies of a book entitled Cold War in a Country Garden which he was planning to turn into a feature film. They were immediately captivated with the story, and set about thinking how they'd approach the effects. "I think it was absolutely fascinating. It never came off, however, probably for reasons of finance, and although the idea has been used in films of recent times, it was - to my knowledge - the first time a project of that sort and scope had been muted. It was all about the future population explosion and how there just wouldn't be enough room on the earth for everyone to live, so a group of government-funded scientists initiated a 'shrinking' research program. Basically, they wanted to shrink people to one and a half inches to make more room in the world. One particular group of volunteers were shrunk in size and put back in their own garden, to see how they would survive. Of course, little things like ants and spiders were absolute giants to them, and blades of grass would have been the equivalent to six foot high. In those days, there were no computers and they really would have had to build sets ten times bigger than normal to create the vastness of the surroundings. Frank and I were bursting with ideas, but alas didn't get the chance to realize any of them. I really regret that."

Matthew Dilke trilogy
"Dilke is a pioneer of the new espionage: he has been miniaturized and is only a quarter of an inch tall." Describing the trilogy as "tales of futuristic espionage", The MUP Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy says, Dilke, a government agent, is "miniaturised in an experiment to counteract overpopulation."

Gutteridge published two sequels, also published by Jonathan Cape: Killer Pine (1973); and Fratricide is a Gas (1975) where Dilke travels to Peru with his colleague Bellamy to investigate a plastics factory believed to be a front for biological warfare research.

Stephen King unfavourably compares Gutteridge's novel ("tiny people battle beetles and praying mantises") to Richard Matheson's The Shrinking Man "because Matheson couches his story in such intimate and riveting terms - and because he is ultimately so persuasive."

British Book News wrote of Fratricide is a Gas, "The details of his equipment and methods are fascinating as ever, but the possibilities of his adventures are beginning to be exhausted: the insects of the South American jungle are not, to him, really much more perilous than those of the English country garden of his first mission and, as for piranha fish, Ian Fleming dealt conclusively with those a long time ago. But if you have not read the earlier Dilke books, this one is diverting, and there is an excellent comic twist to the plot at the end."

The MUP Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy claims a planned fourth book was to have been set in Australia, though gives no further information nor a citation to support the claim. However a 1971 Publishers Weekly article claims that four sequels exist in outline.

Lindsay Gutteridge is the author of three espionage novels featuring Matthew Dilke as hero, a micro-man one quarter of an inch in height. They are all splendid adventure stories and powerfully engage the sense of wonder. Gutteridge plays rough with his miniature spies and their normal-sized masters and foes, so that these should perhaps be classified as adult entertainments, but there is nothing very special in the books considered as offbeat spy thrillers. Their distinctive quality is science-educational: they are the closest fictional equivalents I have found to The Hellstrom Chronicle. Whereas that film's overwhelming images of the alien life we overlook projected an inimical world, in which ants are far better adapted for survival than we hubristic humans. Gutteridge, better balanced, discovers not only beauty and terror, monstrosity and indifference, but delightful nourishment. By not being insect-sized, Gutteridge suggests, we are missing the marvellous abundant food of pollen and nectar. If only we could be miniaturized, our survival problems would be over. There, of course, is the rub which would lead us to classify these works as pure fantasies were it not that they belong to a tradition of micro-people in SF established by such writers as Asimov, Blish, and Leinster, and that they use the convention to instruct us about natural history so fully and sensitively. The microscopic eye is a human one, and the wonders seen are related to human fears, needs and desires. [/] Cold War in a Country Garden, in which the mission of three micro-men is to implant transmitters in the hair of a Russian, is closest perhaps to the conventional spy thriller, substituting a box of centipedes for the snake pit or piranha pool as a persuasive thread to the captured Dilke. When he escapes, rescuing a micro-negress, Hyacinthe, who aids him in his second adventure, the pursuers are caught by an ant-lion. Killer Pine is a novel of ecological warfare, in which the enemy are Russian micro-men who inhabit a metal container on a pine in a Canadian forest, breeding termites to spread a viral death. We are given fascinating and horrid glimpses of life in a termite colony, in a tree which, for the micro-climbers, has the scale of Mount Everest. The third novel, Fratricide Is a Gas, has affinities with novels of industrial espionage: here Matthew Dilke is pitted alone against a sadistic Nazi chemist in Peru. The highlight of this novel is a sequence in which Dilke climbs jungloid thorns and creepers, enjoying on the way an idyllic repose in the bloom of an orchid, where he is visited by a humming-bird and witnesses the giant courtship of butterflies and the predations of parasitic wasps and shaggy spiders. [/] Gutteridge's micro-man's view gives us the pleasure of a sardonic perspective on the conventions of spy fiction and also a Swiftian magnification of some of our physical and spiritual coarseness, as when Dilke spies from a perch on the top of Lippe's study chair not only the eroded massif of his head but also the monstrous cruelty of his mind, revealed by his most private occupations.

Paperback blurb Cold War: "James Bond meets The Incredible Shrinking Man. Matthew Dilke is miniaturised and has to survive in his own garden - then he takes on eastern Europe."

Gutteridge also published essay in collection that also featured Angela Carter.

 * For instance, in Lindsay Gutteridge's Cold War in a Country Garden (1971) the protagonist is a British intelligence officer reduced to a miniature size and smuggled into Rumania. His reduction reflects an instrumentalisation of humans into means to an end, and reflects too fears of the sheer size of Soviet bloc forces as embodied in the monstrous body of a Rumanian army commander. Gutteridge literalises the traditional association between size and power to present Cold War confrontation as a latter-day version of the David and Goliath story.

Williams' trilogy

 * Mark Buckmaster refers to the hackneyed theme of miniature humans: "have long been a staple of SF." "Gudenian, a former guard fleeing murder charges and the strict political atmosphere of the colony, leads a group of prisoners in escape. On the outside they are harassed by a series of dangers, including a fox, and an attempt by two political factions to regain Magda Gudenian's lover, the first microwoman to ever conceive a child. The fox is killed, and Gudenian escapes. A third novel is hinted at by the inconclusive ending. The prose is awkward and disjointed as Williams on several occasions shifts scenes and narrators bewilderingly. A micro-effort.
