Oakhurst Productions
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Oakhurst Productions was a production company formed by actor Stanley Baker in the late 1960s which produced a number of films, notably The Italian Job (1969).[1] Their first film, Robbery (1967), was made in association with Embassy Pictures but the next five were made with Paramount Pictures. Oakhurst owned a building along the Thames River which was later sold as part of Baker and Deeley's take over of British Lion.[2]
Among their unmade projects were:

- Summer Fires directed by Peter Hall.[3]
- Everyman's Brother from a novel by Norman Lewis[4]
