NEW POLL! The SSO Favorite Director
Re: NEW POLL! The SSO Favorite Director
I must break from the maddening process of narrowing down my choices to comment on the brilliance of JackFavell's posts. I think Sally Brown could write the great American novel in the amount of time it's taking me to come up with my list.

So, I'm not alone in this theory......
is there a union rep around?????
Re: NEW POLL! The SSO Favorite Director
Whatcha mean by that scurrilous remark casting doubt on my complete objectivity? Did I nominate any Welles movies as Favorite Screwball Comedy (Drat! Should've nominated THE TRIAL!) or Favorite Musical? Apology accepted.
I must admit to some surprise by one on your list (hint: between Cassavetes and Bava). Defying my expectations once again.

And I missed Fritz Lang, even when I listed my 32. How could I?

I knew that Mr. Siegel and Mr. Aldrich would finally make an appearance (and on whose list it would be).

Yes, especially Dusty and Sweets McGee, which I watched last night (in 35mm) at the
Pacific Film Archive, utilizing the exact same print we used at the Roxie back in '96
when I revived it for a full week's run. It only gets better with each melancholy viewing.
Here's the only clip I could find on YouTube, one that features Billy Gray, the young actor
who played "Bud" on Father Knows Best in the 50s. He had come a long way, you might say.
