===Frequent collaborators=== [[File:Judgment at Nuremberg-Burt Lancaster 2.jpg|thumb|In ''[[Judgment at Nuremberg]]'', 1961]] Lancaster appeared in a total of seventeen films produced by his agent, [[Harold Hecht]]. Eight of these were co-produced by [[James Hill (American film producer)|James Hill]]. He also appeared in eight films produced by [[Hal B. Wallis]] and two with producer [[Mark Hellinger]]. Although Lancaster's work alongside Kirk Douglas was known as that of a successful pair of actors, Douglas, in fact, produced four films for the pair, through his production companies Bryna Productions and Joel Productions. Roland Kibbee also produced three Lancaster films, and Lancaster was also cast in two [[Stanley Kramer]] productions. ==== Kirk Douglas ==== Kirk Douglas starred in seven films across the decades with Burt Lancaster: ''[[I Walk Alone]]'' (1948), ''[[Gunfight at the O.K. Corral]]'' (1957), ''[[The Devil's Disciple (1959 film)|The Devil's Disciple]]'' (1959), ''[[The List of Adrian Messenger]]'' (1963), ''[[Seven Days in May]]'' (1964), ''[[Victory at Entebbe]]'' (1976) and ''[[Tough Guys]]'' (1986), which fixed the notion of the pair as something of a team in the public imagination. Douglas was always billed under Lancaster in these movies but, with the exception of ''I Walk Alone'', in which Douglas played a villain, their roles were usually more or less the same size. Both actors arrived in Hollywood at about the same time, and first appeared together in the fourth film for each, albeit with Douglas in a supporting role. They both became actor-producers who sought out independent Hollywood careers. ==== John Frankenheimer ==== [[John Frankenheimer]] directed five films with Lancaster: ''[[The Young Savages]]'' (1961), ''[[Birdman of Alcatraz (film)|Birdman of Alcatraz]]'' (1962), ''[[Seven Days in May]]'' (1964), ''[[The Train (1964 film)|The Train]]'' (1964), and ''[[The Gypsy Moths]]'' (1969). ==== Other repeat collaborators ==== He was directed four times by [[Robert Aldrich]], three times each by [[Robert Siodmak]] and [[Sydney Pollack]], and twice each by [[Byron Haskin]], [[Daniel Mann]], [[John Sturges]], [[John Huston]], [[Richard Brooks]], [[Alexander Mackendrick]], [[Luchino Visconti]], and [[Michael Winner]]. [[Roland Kibbee]] wrote for seven Lancaster films. Lancaster used makeup veteran Robert Schiffer in twenty credited films, hiring Schiffer on nearly all of the films he produced.
