Executive producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus |
|
|
| Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus share the same indefatigable energy that created Hollywood over seventy years ago. Golan, chairman of the board of The Cannon Group, Inc., and Yoram Globus, president, have put more motion pictures into production for 1983-84 than any other major studio during the same period. Golan and Globus have been partners since 1960 when they formed Noah Films, Ltd. Together they made close to forty features. Having virtually created the Israeli film industry, their success was unparalleled. As noted by Variety, of the twenty top-grossing films released in Israel between 1960 and 1980, fourteen were Golan-Globus productions. The two producers have the distinction of being the only producers to have been nominated four times by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for best foreign film. The nominations were for Sallah, I Love You Rosa, The House on Chelouche Street and Operation Thunderbolt, which Golan directed. |
