Made many films but To Kill a Mockingbird stands by itself.

I was very sad to hear this yesterday. He was a wonderful director.
I remember how much I loved his last film "Man In the Moon" which introduced a young Reece Witherspoon to the movie world.
I didn't realize until recently that his brother was Richard Mulligan from Soap and Empty Nest.

Yup. I remember seeing MAN IN THE MOON and thinking "What a great young actress. She'll either become a star or disappear forever."
Don't forget:
SUMMER OF '42 and THE OTHER with Uta Hagen.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 12/23/08 at 6:34pmYes, THE OTHER is a rare Hagen foray into film. A bizarre, overcooked performance in a lurid tale, one wonders why she (and Mulligan) were drawn to it. Of the two best selling Tom Tryon novels, I much prefer the lurid pagan ritual domestic drama (!) HARVEST HOME, made into a lurid and dreadful mini-series starring Miss Bette Davis, looking like Sister Aloyisus.
