=== Head of EMI Films ===
In 1969, Forbes was appointed chief of production and managing director of the [[film studio]] [[Associated British Picture Corporation|Associated British]] (soon to become [[EMI Films]]). [[Dennis Barker]], in his obituary of Forbes for ''[[The Guardian]]'', states, 'This amounted virtually to an attempt to revive the ailing British film industry by instituting a traditional studio system with a whole slate of films in play.' <ref name=guardian_barker /> Under Forbes's leadership, the studio produced ''[[The Railway Children (1970 film)|The Railway Children]]'' (1970), ''[[The Tales of Beatrix Potter]]'' (1971) and ''[[The Go-Between (1971 film)|The Go-Between]]'' (1971), all successful.<ref name=bfi /><ref name="Roberts">Andrew Roberts [http://www.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/sight-sound-magazine/comment/obituaries/bryan-forbes-1926-2013 "Bryan Forbes profile at British Film Institute website]</ref><ref name="Walker">Alexander Walker ''National Heroes: British Cinema in the Seventies and Eighties'', London: Harrap, 1985, p. 114</ref> His tenure, though, was marked by financial problems and failed projects, and he resigned in 1971.<ref name=guardian_batty /><ref name=bbc /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/british-film-studios/110791-bryan-forbes-interview-abpc-elstree-studios.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=24 December 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151224210511/http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/british-film-studios/110791-bryan-forbes-interview-abpc-elstree-studios.html |archive-date=24 December 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Stephen|last=Vagg|title=Cold Streaks: The Studio Stewardship of Bryan Forbes at EMI|date=10 October 2021|website=Filmink Magazine|url=https://www.filmink.com.au/cold-streaks-the-studio-stewardship-of-bryan-forbes-at-emi/}}</ref>

Coinciding with his time at EMI Films,<ref name="Roberts" /> he resumed directorial work with ''[[The Raging Moon]]'' (1971), starring his wife, [[Nanette Newman]], and [[Malcolm McDowell]].<ref name=bbc />

=== Later career ===
From the early 1970s, Forbes divided his energies between cinema, television, theatre, and writing. In 1972 he started work on the documentary ''Elton John and Bernie Taupin Say Goodbye Norma Jean and Other Things'' (1973),<ref name="BFI credits">[http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/491680/credits.html "Forbes, Bryan (1926–[2013]) – Film and TV credits"], BFI screenonline</ref> which chronicled the life of the young [[Elton John]] and [[Bernie Taupin]].<ref>Barnes, M.

Retrieved 9 May 2013</ref> Taking a full year to complete, the project gave a behind-the-scenes look at the writing and recording of ''[[Goodbye Yellow Brick Road]]''. Besides footage of John's 1973 [[Hollywood Bowl]] concert, the film included interviews with John, Taupin, and band members, including [[Nigel Olsson]] and [[Dee Murray]], as well as John's mother, Sheila, DJM label chief [[Dick James]], and James's son, Stephen. (Some of the concert footage was later licensed for the Eagle Vision Classic Albums series ''Goodbye Yellow Brick Road'' documentary.) During filming, Forbes formed a close friendship with John and Taupin, which led to other collaborations with them, including photography on the ''[[Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player]]'' and ''[[Goodbye Yellow Brick Road]]'' album sleeves. [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] broadcast the documentary in the UK on 4 December 1973,<ref name="BFI credits" /> and it was later briefly issued on [[VHS]]. It was shown in the U.S. on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].

Forbes returned to Hollywood to direct ''[[The Stepford Wives (1975 film)|The Stepford Wives]]'' (1975), based on [[Ira Levin]]'s [[The Stepford Wives|novel of the same name]].<ref name=bbc /> The thriller about the backlash against the Women's Liberation Movement in the U.S., in which Newman had a supporting role, was to become Forbes's best-known film, partly because of the protests against it.<ref name="bbc_20040612" /><ref name=nytimes>Fox M.
