I love Robert Wise and I think he had a broad range of projects from THE DAY
THE EARTH STOOD STILL, THE HAUNTING, SOUND OF MUSIC, WEST SIDE STORY and I WANT
TO LIVE.
He was also one of the nicest people I had the wonderful opportunity to know.

Roger,
Robert Wise was indeed a gifted editor and filmmaker. Still, I don't think he
shows the broad and consistent efforts that Hawks or Curtiz showed in so many
different genres. And, of course, being the Welles lover that I am, I cannot
under any circumstances condone his filming a new 'happy ending' to tack onto
MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, which certainly made it far less...magnificent.

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.

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).
