- Bryna Productions (later renamed The Bryna Company) is an American independent film and television production company established by actor Kirk Douglas in 1949. The company also produced a handful of films through its subsidiaries, Michael Productions, Joel Productions and Douglas and Lewis Productions, and outside the United States through Brynaprod. Other subsidiaries included Eric Productions, which produced stage plays, Peter Vincent Music, a music publishing company, Bryna International, a photographic service company, and Public Relations Consultants, which supervised the publicity of its early films. Douglas named the main company after his mother, Bryna Demsky, while its primary subsidiaries were named after his sons: Michael Douglas, Joel Douglas, Peter Douglas and Eric Douglas. In 1970, Bryna Productions was renamed The Bryna Company, when Douglas welcomed his children and second wife into the firm. Nevertheless, Michael, Joel and Peter, wanting to establish individual identities, went on to form their own independent film production companies. The company had some major film successes, including Paths of Glory, The Vikings, Spartacus, Seven Days in May, Seconds, Grand Prix, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Four of the films Bryna Productions made have been deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States National Film Preservation Board and have been selected for preservation in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry: Paths of Glory in 1992, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1993, Seconds in 2015 and Spartacus in 2017. The company was also recognized by the American Cinematheque in 1989, when it held a three-day festival with the screening of eight Bryna Productions films. Twenty-one of Bryna Productions' films have won and been nominated for awards and prizes at various ceremonies and film festivals, including the Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, the British Academy Film Awards, the Grammy Awards, the Saturn Awards, the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Genie Awards, the Bodil Awards, the Directors Guild of America Award, the Writers Guild of America Awards, the Laurel Awards, the David di Donatello Awards, the Bambi Award, the Belgian Film Critics Association Award, the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, the National Society of Film Critics Awards, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, the Turkish Film Critics Association Awards, the National Board of Review Awards, the People's Choice Awards, the Kinema Junpo Awards, the Sant Jordi Awards, the César Awards, the Nastro d'Argento Award, the Jussi Awards, the Huabiao Awards, the Golden Screen Award, the CableACE Awards, the Golden Reel Awards, the International Film Music Critics Award, the Edgar Allan Poe Award, the Boxoffice Blue Ribbon Award, the American Cinema Editors Award, the Fotogramas de Plata Award, the Hugo Awards; and at the Cannes Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival, the San Sebastián International Film Festival, the Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival, the Chicago International Film Festival and the Faro Island Film Festival. Bryna Productions often co-produced films with other notable independent film production companies, including Burt Lancaster, Harold Hecht and James Hill's Hecht-Hill-Lancaster Films, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh's Curtleigh Productions, Rock Hudson's Gibraltar Productions, James Garner's Cherokee Productions, Stanley Kubrick and James B. Harris' Harris-Kubrick Pictures, Saul Zaentz's Fantasy Films, John Frankenheimner's John Frankenheimer Productions, Richard Quine's Quine Productions, Hal B. Wallis' Wallis-Hazen Productions, Martin Ritt's Martin Ritt Productions, Ray Stark's Seven Arts Productions, Harold Jack Bloom's Thoroughbred Productions, Harold Greenberg's Astral Film Productions, Roland W. Betts' Silver Screen Partners II and Walt Disney's Walt Disney Productions and Touchstone Pictures. It also had financing and distribution deals with major Hollywood studios like United Artists, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Universal-International Pictures, Rank Film Distributors, National General Pictures and Buena Vista, for motion pictures, as well as United Artists Television, NBC, CBS and HBO, for television.

- Bryna Productions était une société de production cinématographique créée par Kirk Douglas en 1955, inspirée par le succès de Burt Lancaster qui s'était lancé également dans la production. Nommée en l'honneur de la mère de Kirk Douglas, Bryna Demsky, la société produit 20 films entre 1955 et 1986 et 6 autres par Joel Productions, une filiale de Bryna, nommée en l'honneur de son deuxième fils, Joel Douglas. Douglas créé la société en 1950 et commence à prendre des options sur des productions telles que La Cible parfaite (The Fearmakers) et The Shadow. En mars 1952, Douglas déclare qu'il veut que Bryna fasse trois films par an. En janvier 1955, Douglas active officiellement Bryna en tant que société de production en signant un contrat pour six films avec United Artists. Douglas accepte de jouer dans certains des films, mais pas tous. Les deux premiers devaient être Les Vikings réalisé par Richard Fleischer et un biopic de Van Gogh. Douglas finit par jouer Van Gogh dans un film de la MGM, La Vie passionnée de Vincent van Gogh (Lust for Life), et le premier film de Bryna pour United Artists sera finalement La Rivière de nos amours (The Indian Fighter). La société produit ensuite Lizzie, distribué par MGM et Spring Reunion pour UA. Aucun des deux ne met en vedette Kirk Douglas, à la différence des Sentiers de la Gloire (Paths of Glory) pour UA. En mai 1958, Bryna signe un contrat de deux films avec Universal, pour réaliser Spartacus et Viva Gringo. Seul le premier film est réalisé, mais Bryna tourne également The Hot Eye of Heaven pour Universal, qui est devenu El Perdido (The Last Sunset) . En novembre 1958, Douglas annonce que Bryna va réaliser onze films pour 25 millions de dollars, dont And the Rock Cried Out, The Indian Wars, Spartacus, The Sun at Midnight, The Shadow, A Most Contagious Game, Viva Gringo, The Silent One, The Brave Cowboy, Michel Strogoff et Simon Bolivar. La plupart de ces films ne verront pas le jour. Bryna and Joel Productions montent la production théâtrale de Vol au-dessus d'un nid de coucou (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest). (fr)
