Avon Productions was an American film production company formed by producers Lawrence Weingarten and Pandro Berman. Both men worked at MGM as in house producers. They resigned from MGM in early 1957 to establish Avon Productions, which drew on finance from MGM and would distribute through that studio. Both Berman and Weingarten would work on Avon productions but only one would take credit as producer. Weingarten said "after all these years we felt that it was time we shared in the profits of the pictures we made."
