Peter William Murton (24 September 1924 – 15 December 2009)[1] was a film art director and production designer.
[3] Murton worked as an art director for production designer Ken Adam on the Stanley Kubrick film Dr. Strangelove.
Murton then did art direction on the next two James Bond films - Goldfinger and Thunderball - for which Adam also did the production design.
The production team chose Thailand as a primary location, following Murton's suggestion, after he saw pictures of the Phuket bay in a magazine.
[4] Bond film historian Steven Jay Rubin faults The Man with the Golden Gun for not making good use of Murton's sets, especially the solar energy room.
