...DIED. KAREL REISZ, 76, Czech-born film director who was a seminal figure in the renaissance of gritty British cinema in the 1960s; in London. Reisz is perhaps best known for directing Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), which launched British actor Albert Finney's career, and The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981), an acclaimed adaptation of the John Fowles novel...

EON, the production house behind 007, has been a family business since Albert (Cubby) Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, who produced the first nine films together, set it up in 1961. Today a second generation of Broccolis--Cubby's daughter Barbara and stepson Michael Wilson--runs the London-based outfit.
