Peter R. Hunt

Peter R. Hunt

Peter R. Hunt (born March 11, 1925 in London - died August 14, 2002) was a famed and innovative English film editor unafraid to challenge conventional wisdom. He created or at least greatly enhanced much of the exciting action in the early James Bond films with his innovative editing style. He has performed various other roles on movie sets having begun in the industry as "Clapper-boy" and ending as a respected and beloved director.

He became justly famous for his novel techniques using quick cutting, allowing camera swings during action and inserts interleaving other elements while working as editor on the first three Bonds.cite video | year = 2000| title = Inside Dr. No | medium = DVD | publisher = MGM Home Entertainment Inc. |people = Peter Hunt |accessdate = 2007-08-04 | url = http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0316024/] cite video | year = 2000| title = Inside From Russia with Love | medium = DVD | publisher = MGM Home Entertainment Inc. |people = Peter Hunt, Norman Wanstall |accessdate = 2007-08-04 | url = http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0322760/]

Wanting to direct from the time he was a boy, he then acted as second unit or action unit director until his directorial debut, the sixth James Bond film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".

Hunt also worked with Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli on the 1963 Bob Hope film "Call Me Bwana", and with Saltzman and a few other Bond veterans on the non-Eon thriller The IPCRESS File. "Call Me Bwana" is the only film produced by the James Bond production company EON Productions that is not a Bond film.

Hunt also directed some episodes of the 1971 British television series, "The Persuaders!", which starred future James Bond Roger Moore, and Tony Curtis.
