谁和伊斯梅尔·莫香特约会过？

伊斯梅爾·莫爾昌特（Ismail Merchant，1936年12月25日—2005年5月25日），出生于印度孟買，是一名在電影界享有盛名的監製兼導演。与導演詹姆士·艾佛利及編劇露絲·鮑爾·賈華拉合作無數次，更與艾佛利創辦了墨臣·艾禾里電影製作公司（Merchant Ivory Productions）。該公司善於用唯美手法把描述二十世紀初英國的小說搬上銀幕，更拿下了總共六座奧斯卡金像獎；三人亦因此被譽為「三頭神」（有趣的是，他們沒有一個是土生土長的英國人）。莫香特制作电影29部，其中包括《霍华德庄园》、《看得见风景的房间》、《告别有情天》等佳作，而2004年与中國合作的影片《異國情緣》成了莫香特的遺作。

莫香特與艾佛利兩人合作共44年，不但是工作上的夥伴，更是終生伴侶。

伊斯梅尔还是位美食家，开有一家飯店，并著有多本烹饪杂志。

James Francis Ivory (born Richard Jerome Hazen; June 7, 1928) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. He was a principal in Merchant Ivory Productions along with Indian film producer Ismail Merchant (his domestic and professional partner) and screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. The trio made film adaptations of stories by authors such as E.M. Forster and Henry James. Their body of work is celebrated for its elegance, sophistication, literary fidelity, strong performances, complex themes, and rich characters.

Merchant–Ivory was established in 1961 in India where they made modestly budgeted films including The Householder (1963), Shakespeare Wallah (1965), and Bombay Talkie (1970). Ivory began adapting films from classic novels such as The Europeans (1979), Quartet (1981), Heat and Dust (1983), The Bostonians (1984), Maurice (1987), and Mr. & Mrs. Bridge (1990). During this period he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for A Room with a View (1985), Howards End (1992), and The Remains of the Day (1993). At the age of 89, Ivory won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name (2017), becoming the oldest competitive Academy Award winner.

Ivory's accolades also include three BAFTAs, and a Writers Guild of America Award as well as nominations for three Golden Globe Awards. He received the Directors Guild of America Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995. Ivory released his autobiography Solid Ivory: Memoirs (2021) and directed the documentary A Cooler Climate (2022).
