Producer Clive Parsons no more
MUMBAI: UK-based film producer Clive Parsons has expired. He was 66.
Oxford-educated Parsons started his film career in the legal department of Paramount Pictures in London; he then moved to Warner Bros. Europe as head of business affairs.
Parsons co-produced Tea With Mussolini and Callas Forever. He also worked on TV productions including The Queens‘ Nose and The Giblet Boys.
Later, Parsons and his long-time business associate Davina Belling formed Film and General Productions in 1971 and worked in financing and development before they forayed into production with Inserts in 1975.
The company went on to work on films like Gregory‘s Girl and Comfort and Joy, Britannia Hospital, Scum, Brian Gibson‘s Breaking Glass, A Business Affair, True Blue, and I Am David.
Parsons and Belling were also briefly associated with US-based Kings Road Productions, with the former serving as president for three years.
