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?

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.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] WHO COMPARES TO SPIELBERG?
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...

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).
