George W. George, a film and theatrical producer whose credits include the acclaimed film “My Dinner With Andre” as well as a run of successful Broadway productions, died on Nov. 7 in Manhattan. He was 87.

The cause was complications of Parkinson’s disease, his daughter Jennifer George said.

Mr. George produced “My Dinner With Andre” with Beverly Karp in 1981. The film, directed by Louis Malle, consists almost entirely of dialogue between Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn playing old acquaintances who discuss life, art and reality over a long dinner at a posh restaurant.

“Andre” opened to little fanfare and sparse audiences. But riding a wave of critical acclaim, it became an unlikely success, making more than $5 million in the United States, respectable box office at the time for a low-budget independent film.

Mr. George made his debut as a film producer with the 1957 documentary “The James Dean Story,” which he produced and directed with Robert Altman. Other films he produced included “Night Watch” (1973), starring Elizabeth Taylor, and “Rich Kids” (1979), written by Mr. George’s wife, Judith Ross George.
