Peter Hunt Biography
Born: March 11, 1925
Died: August 14, 2002
A student of music and art while attending college in London and Rome, Peter Hunt chucked it all to enter films in 1947 as a lower-level clapper boy. Hunt established himself as one of Britain's ace film editors in the mid-1950s. Beginning with Dr._No (1962), Hunt was principal editor of the annual James Bond epics. He was booted up to director on the 1969 Bond flick On_Her_Majesty's_Secret_Service. Curiously, this was Peter Hunt's last association with Secret Agent 007: since that time, he directed such action films as Death_Hunt (1981), Wild Geese II (1982) and Assassination (1987), as well as the Anglo-Italian TV miniseries Quo_Vadis (1985).In his later years, Hunt has directed the Hart to Hart "reunion" telefilms starring Robert_Wagner and Stefanie_Powers. Peter Hunt should not be confused with American-born director Peter_H._Hunt (1776, Bully etc.). Hal Erickson, Rovi
