He got his primary education completed from a school in England while his family lives in France. In his earlier days, back in the 1930s, he started his career with French Cinema. And said he “discovered how a studio worked the hard way”.

He worked with British director Carol Reed’s as an assistant for five years but finally moved to become a director on his own after the war. Hamilton said he wanted to be a director before the age of 30 and he “squeezed in just” and directed The Colditz Story, the Devil’s Disciple, Funeral in Berlin.

As Producer of Bond’s movie Cubby Broccoli was an old friend, he got an opportunity to take the initiative, and he completed it well.

“He said ‘how would you like to make Goldfinger?’ I said ‘I would absolutely love to’, because I had a very clear idea of what I would like to do and how I’d like to go about it and it was a very happy experience.”
