Canadian film producer
Peter Snell is a Canadian film producer. He is notable for the films he made with Alistair MacLean, Don Sharp and Charlton Heston as well as The Wicker Man (1973).[1]
Snell was born in Calgary, Alberta. He moved to London to work in the film industry. His first film was Some May Live. Snell became head of British Lion and greenlit The Wicker Man and Don’t Look Now. However the company was taken over by Michael Deeley and Barry Spikings and in 1973 Snell joined the Robert Stigwood Organisation.[2]
He had an affair with Ingrid Pitt during the making of The Wicker Man which reportedly upset her husband George Pinches, head of cinema bookings for the Rank Organisation, and contributed to the film struggling to be released in Britain.[3]
