Saul Zaentz
  <$>

Born    February 28, 1921 (age 90)
Passaic, New Jersey

Saul Zaentz (play /ˈzænts/; born February 28, 1921) is an American film producer and former record company executive. He has won the Academy Award for Best Picture three times and in 1996 was awarded the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.

Zaentz's film production career is marked by a dedication to the adaptation of the novel. A prolific reader, Zaentz typically does not produce original screenplays. His most recent production, Goya's Ghosts,[1] is an exception, being an original story by Jean-Claude Carrière and Miloš Forman.

Early life

Zaentz was born to immigrant Jewish parents in Passaic, New Jersey. After serving in the United States Army during World War II, Zaentz began realizing his passion for music as a distributor for Granz's Jazz Record company, a job that included managing concert tours for greats like Duke Ellington and Stan Getz. Zaentz went to William B.Cruz Memorial school number 11 in Passaic New Jersey as a child.

Music career

In 1955 he joined Fantasy Records,[2] for many years the largest independent jazz record label in the world. In 1967 Zaentz and other partners purchased the label from founders Max and Sol Weiss. The partners signed roots-rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), fronted by former Fantasy warehouseman John Fogerty.

Fantasy Records owns the distribution and publishing rights to the music of CCR, and Zaentz had a long-running dispute about this with former CCR singer/songwriter Fogerty. Zaentz sued Fogerty for plagiarizing himself asking $140 million in damages, and lost (Fantasy, Inc. v. Fogerty);[3] Fogerty sued for reimbursement of attorneys' fees and won in a case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court, Fogerty v. Fantasy, 510 U.S. 517 (1994). The songs "Zanz Kant Danz" and "Mr. Greed" from Fogerty's album Centerfield are thinly veiled slams at Zaentz.[4]

Zaentz brought a series of lawsuits against Fogerty
, claiming defamation of character for the lyric "Zanz can't dance but he'll steal your money," and also claiming that the fundamental music in "The Old Man Down the Road" was a lift from the Fantasy-copyrighted-but-Fogerty-written song "Run Through the Jungle" from CCR's smash 1970 album Cosmo's Factory. The defamation issue was settled, with Warner Bros. and Fogerty changing the title and lyric to "Vanz Kant Danz".[citation needed] Zaentz lost on the copyright issue as a jury found Fogerty not liable.[4] Fogerty in turn claimed the label misled him about investing and managing his earnings from royalties, resulting in a devastating financial loss. Years later, when Zaentz sold his interest in Fantasy, Fogerty almost immediately re-signed with the label.

QuoteFor instance, so-called "Dutch Sandwiches" are well-known in certain well-heeled circles, including movie moguls like Saul Zaentz, the recording impresario and producer of "Amadeus" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." The novel "Black Money" by Michael Thomas also deals with them, as well as other arcane money laundry techniques.

    When asked about them, Al laughs knowingly. When pressed further, he replies, "A Dutch Sandwich is a certain exotic money transaction. What allows it to exist is a peculiarity in the Dutch legal system and Dutch banking laws. You can retain a lawyer in the Netherlands for offshore trusts in the Netherlands Antilles, and you can give the lawyer exceptional power. He also has exceptional protection from Dutch law, as long as that lawyer is a Dutch citizen. If he is outside the Netherlands, then he can break certain financial laws with impunity. What you're talking about [Dutch sandwich] has been used in the past for the flow of monies. In Hamel's personal address book, he always had a bunch of names of Dutch law firms in Amsterdam and the senior law partners in those firms."
After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan
