Norman Rosemont (December 12, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York – April 22, 2018 in Scottsdale, Arizona) was an American producer of films, television, and theatre.[1][2]

He worked as a press agent before moving into theatre. He worked as a general manager of Lerner and Loewe, then began producing TV specials.[2]

He then produced movies for television.[3] He specialized in adaptations of classic novels.[4] "The great classic authors wrote good stories with strong plots about people you could care for. And filming them at length - usually three hours - you can get most of the plot in."[5]
