Biography


Daniel Carney was born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1944, a son of a British diplomat. In 1963, he settled in Southern Rhodesia (soon to be renamed Rhodesia) and joined the British South Africa Police (BSAP), where he served for three and a half years. In 1968, he co-founded the estate agents Fox and Carney in Salisbury, Rhodesia. He died of cancer in 1987.
After his death, ownership rights in his novels and the films based on them passed to his family. His family has had some interest in re-releasing The Wild Geese from American and Australian production companies, however the options were not taken up.
In 2005, Tango Entertainment released a 30th-anniversary edition of The Wild Geese (1978). The film had been hampered by the collapse of its American distributor, Allied Artists. As a result, the film was only partially distributed in the United States, where it was a box-office disappointment, despite being the 13th-highest-grossing film, worldwide, of 1978.
