Hecht-Hill-Lancaster
Hecht-Hill-Lancaster was a production company formed by the actor Burt Lancaster in association with his agent, Harold Hecht, and James Hill. In 1948 Lancaster and Hecht formed Norma Productions (named after his wife), which later became Hecht-Lancaster. Hill joined in the mid-1950s. The company produced some of the most notable American films of the 1950s.
In 1956 they renewed their deal with United Artists.[1] In late 1957 they announced they would make ten films worth $14 million in 1958.[2]
