Personal Quote:

On directing several of the James Bond pictures: "One of the rules with the Bond pictures is that you're not allowed to have a leading lady who can act - because we can't afford them....If ever we were to have a real leading lady, the next time around we'd have to find another one. And in no time at all we'd have to have, oh, Jane Fonda for $2 million and up." See more »

Trivia:

Was originally hired to direct Superman, when the film was scheduled to film in Italy, but when production moved to England, Hamilton backed out because he could only be in England for thirty days a year for tax reasons. He left and was replaced by Richard Donner. See more »
