Jerry Bresler (Jerome S. Bresler: April 13, 1908 in

Denver, Colorado – August 23, 1977 in Los Angeles)[1] was an American film producer. He won an Oscar in 1944 as co-producer for Heavenly Music (Best Short Subject, Two-reel)[2] and in 1945 for Stairway to Light (Best Short Subject, one-reel).[3]

He began his film career as a production supervisor. In the late 1930s, he joined MGM as a unit manager and worked on the

The Vikings in 1958, Sam Peckinpah's Major Dundee (1965) and the James Bond spoof Casino Royale in 1967, and his final film, Pussycat, Pussycat, I Love You.[6]

It was the post-production interference at Columbia Pictures on Major Dundee which for a time gave Bresler a reputation as a studio hatchet-man. The more complicated history of the production has become known over the years, and the editing of the film is seen as one part of that history.[7]

In 1965, he was a member of the jury at the 15th Berlin International Film Festival.[8]
