Michael Balcon

Muistotaulu Michael Balconin entisen asuintalon seinässä.

Michael Balcon, KBE, (19. toukokuuta 1896 Birmingham, Yhdistynyt kuningaskunta – 17. lokakuuta 1977 Hartfield, East Sussex, Englanti, Yhdistynyt kuningaskunta) oli Alexander Kordan ja J. Arthur Rankin ohella yksi merkittävimpiä brittiläisiä elokuvatuottajia. Hänet tunnetaan Alfred Hitchcockin varhaisten elokuvien tuottajana sekä myöhemmin Ealing Studios -yhtiön menestyksen luojana.[1]

Elämä

Michael Balcon oli naimisissa Aileen Freda Leathermanin kanssa. Heidän tyttärensä Jill Balcon oli myös näyttelijä. Näyttelijä Daniel Day-Lewis on Balconin lapsenlapsi.

1946 Balcon sai Brittiläisen imperiumin ritarikomentajan (KBE) arvon.

Ura

Balcon aloitti uransa elokuva-alalla levittäjänä 1919. Hän perusti yhdessä Victor Savillen kanssa 1921 Victory Motion Pictures -tuotantoyhtiön. 1924 hän perusti Graham Cuttsin kanssa Gainsborough Pictures -yhtiön, jota hän johti 12 vuotta. Gaumont British osti Gainsborough’n 1931 ja Balcon jatkoi siellä tuotannonjohtajana vuoteen 1936 asti.[1] Gainsborough’n aikana Balcon antoi Alfred Hitchcockille tämän ensimmäisen ohjaustyön ja Gaumont Britishin aikana hän tuotti useita Hitchcockin elokuvia.[2]

Vuosina 1936–1937 Balcon työskenteli lyhyesti MGM-British-yhtiölle, mutta lähti sieltä turhautuneena pois ja siirtyi Ealing Studios -yhtiön johtajaksi ja päätuottajaksi. 22 vuotta Ealingillä olivat hänen uransa antoisimpia vuosia. Hänen aikanaan Ealing tuli tunnetuksi etenkin komediaelokuvista, kuten Pojat dekkareina (1947) ja Naisentappajat (1955).[1]

Balcon julkaisi omaelämäkertansa A Lifetime in Films vuonna 1969.[1]
