He produced a lot of Italian films in the late 40s and the 50s, before moving to international production. Here are some highlights and lowlights. "Bitter Rice" 1948 "Ulysses" 1953 "La Strada" 1953 "War and Peace" 1956 (his first English language film) "Nights of Cabiria" 1956 "Barabbas" 1961 "The Bible" 1966 "Anzio" 1968 "Barbarella" 1968 "Waterloo" 1970 "The Valachi Papers" 1972 "The Stone Killer" 1973 "Serpico" 1973 "Death Wish" 1974 "Casanova" 1974 "Three Days of the Condor" 1975 "Mandingo" 1975 "Drum" 1976 "King Kong" 1976 "Orca" 1977 "The White Buffalo" 1977 "The Serpent's Egg" 1977 (1977 was a bad year for poor Dino. Even Ingmar Bergman failed him.) "Hurricane" 1978 "The Brinks Job" 1978 "King of the Gypsies" 1978 The above is from Katz's "Film Encyclopedia". In some cases, he was executive producer. He's had a few hits, and I suppose that if he is a clever enough producer, almost all the profits go back to him. None the less, I too have to wonder where he gets the money to throw away over $20 million each on "King Kong" and "Hurricane", not to mention his monumental probably losses on "Dune". -- Peter Reiher reiher@ucla-cs.arpa {...ihnp4,ucbvax,sdcrdcf}!ucla-cs!reiher
