'''The Mirisch Company''' (pronounced "meerish") was a production company that was formed in August 1957 by the Mirisch brothers (Walter, Marvin, and Harold) when they produced movies in association with and released through [[United Artists]]. UA would later acquire them on March 1, 1963 for $1.8 million. In 1964, Mirisch produced ''The Pink Panther'' cartoon series in association with [[DePatie-Freleng Enterprises]] (DFE Films), a year after the live action film was released. Mirisch didn't enter TV production until 1959 with the series ''Wichita Town'' in association with [[Four Star Television]]. Lee Rich joined up with the brothers in 1965 and became "Mirisch-Rich Productions" until he left in 1967. Today, MGM owns most of the Mirisch movies and TV shows. | '''The Mirisch Company''' (pronounced "meerish") was a production company that was formed in August 1957 by the Mirisch brothers (Walter, Marvin, and Harold) when they produced movies in association with and released through [[United Artists]].
