Corporate DS/UK/226 Harris-Kubrick Productions; 1955-1963; Production Company Harris-Kubrick Productions 1955-1963 Production Company

1955-1963 Defunct. Stanley Kubick [director] and James B Harris [producer] were company directors. Replaced by Hawk Films. Financed The Killing, Paths of Glory and Lolita. Loaned Kubrick to Direct Spartacus for Bryna Prodcutions. Also worked on unfinished projects: They bought the rights to the Lionel White novel Clean Break, which Kubrick and co-screenwriter Jim Thompson turned into a story about a race track robbery gone wrong. Starring Sterling Hayden, The Killing was Kubrick's first film with a professional cast and crew. The film made impressive use of non-linear time, unusual in 1950s cinema, and, though financially unsuccessful, was Kubrick's first critically successful film. The widespread admiration for The Killing brought Harris-Kubrick Productions to the attention of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The studio offered them its massive collection of copyrighted stories from which to choose their next project. Eventually, they chose The Burning Secret by Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. Kubrick wrote a screenplay with Calder Willingham, but the deal collapsed before the film got properly underway.
