Obituaries - Celebrating Films of the 1. BY LEE PFEIFFEROver the last year the entertainment industry has suffered incalculable losses of talented people. Some of them hit home personally, as is the case with producer Euan Lloyd, who passed away this weekend in London.

I first met Euan in 1. I was attending college in New Jersey. I had the enviable gig of being the film critic for the campus newspaper, which afforded me the opportunity to routinely attend press screenings of forthcoming films in New York, which was a stone's throw across the river from my native Jersey City. I had read about the upcoming release of . To say the film lived up to expectations would be an understatement. I thought it was a superbly crafted blend of rugged action, social commentary and splendid performances under the capable direction of Andrew V.

The film was inspired by the exploits of a real life mercenary named Col. Michael Hoare (not so affectionately known as . He was a technical adviser on the film and was speaking at the post- screening press conference along with the film's producer Euan Llloyd.

I had seen some of Lloyd's earlier films and liked them. The two men gave a riveting account of the making of . Lloyd and introduced myself. I told him that I was greatly impressed with the film and would be writing an excellent review of it.

Spring 2017 INTERNATIONAL LENS, a film series with a global perspective, provides a forum to promote conversation among Vanderbilt’s diverse community of.

I had hoped to just get a handshake and a few nice words since I wasn't exactly representing the New York Times. To my surprise, Mr. Lloyd spoke to me at length about my experience writing film reviews. He hung on every word.

Whether he was just being polite or had a genuine interest, I can't say to this day. However, he astonished me by inviting me to breakfast at the Plaza the next morning. As a college kid, the Plaza on Central Park was a place you only saw in the kidnapping scene of . The next morning I dined with Mr. Lloyd, who insisted that I call him Euan.

After breakfast we took a long walk around the city and he related fascinating stories about the film trade. He even gave me an inside scoop on the next James Bond movie. He said he had recently screened . I had never heard such words of encouragement from anyone. He also told me that if my schedule permitted it, he could get me a bottom- rung job on the set of his forthcoming film . It was an offer I wasn't able to take because  of factors in my personal life at the time, not these least of which were that I needed a steady job and was about to get married. Still, the offer was an extremely kind gesture.

In the pre- E mail era, these types of casualties happened to people's relationships. In 2. 00. 2, my old friend and future Cinema Retro publishing partner Dave Worrall happened to meet Euan Lloyd and Andrew V. Mc. Laglen at an event at Pinewood Studios. He asked Euan if he might have remembered a guy named Pfeiffer he had met many years ago.

To his surprise, Euan recalled the day I had spent with him and relayed the message that we should visit him when next I was in London. His anecdotes were captivating but he never seemed pretentious or full of himself. He was always an example of humility and class. When we started Cinema Retro magazine a few years later, Euan was front and center and we ran an extensive interview with him over the first three issues that was conducted by writers Mac Mac. Sharry and Terry Hine. It should be said that Euan was one of the first very successful producers to eschew studio financing in favor of raising money for his films on his own, then selling distribution rights to the major studios. In his early days in the industry he worked for future James Bond producer Cubby Broccoli and his (then) partner Irving Allen.

Lloyd always credited Cubby for giving him a him this opportunity, which was actually arranged by Alan Ladd, who Euan had befriended. Euan helped oversee production on many successful movies for Cubby and Irving's Warwick Productions. When Cubby later teamed with Harry Saltzman to form Eon Productions, Euan continued to work with Irving Allen and co- produced the second Matt Helm film, . From that point on, he would produce his own films.

They included Sean Connery's first post- Bond film, . He struck pay dirt with the 1.

Some of his movies including . Another admirer of the 1.

President Ronald Reagan, who requested that it be screened at the White House. Euan was also a man who seemed to have no enemies. I once received an unexpected phone call from Sean Connery and in the process of speaking to him, I told him that I was a friend of Euan Lloyd's. Connery recounted his experiences making . Similarly, Roger Moore, who starred in . Over the years, Dave and I would try to see Euan whenever we were  in London.

He would occasionally join us at the royal premieres of James Bond films. We planned to meet briefly at his apartment but his illness prevented this from happening. I think Euan was looking out for me even then, as I don't believe he wanted me to see him in a weakened state.

Perhaps he was right. My only memories of him are of a vibrant, elegant man who was always .

He was old school in the best sense of the term. Small wonder that producer Jonathan Sothcott titled his excellent 2. Euan . I realize now more than ever how that title perfectly encapsulates the man. Upon learning of Euan's passing, Sir Roger Moore referred to him as . Somehow, that word seems equally appropriate.(Click below to watch.
