Yeah, I'll vote for Wise, too. As for his re-cutting AMBERSONS.... well, you know, he was employed by a studio and was just doing what he had been told to do.
What sort of drugs does $30 buy you these days?

Isn't anyone going to vote for Robert Wise? I'm having a Tom Martin moment. Somebody broke into my shed today and stole my lawn mower and weed trimmer -- probably so they could sell them for $30 at the pawn shop for drug money. By the way, does anyone know what page Tom is on? -rk On Jul 23, 2008, at 9:01 PM, Phil Edwards wrote: I'd say Hawks, too, was the best "model". Like Spielberg, he made defining films in almost every genre... although I can't think of too many Hawksian dames in Spielberg's films and Spielberg has left the Western to Eastwood to handle it seems. Don't see Fleming in the running though, despite his name on some big pictures, the best of which were really producer projects or journeyman studio jobs.

Both Hawks and Ford occurred to me as well. Hawks in particular because of his versatility in being able to work in virtually any genre. Victor Fleming might be in the same category... Dave Posteropolis www.posteropolis.com As far as mastering different genres, I don't believe anyone compares to HOWARD HAWKS. His films are among the greatest Gangster films (SCARFACE), Comedy films (TWENTIETH CENTURY, HIS GIRL FRIDAY), Adventure films (ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS), Mystery films (THE BIG SLEEP), and Western films (RED RIVER, RIO BRAVO).
