He was a modernist but with a thorough knowledge of cinema tradition, especially classic American and "B." "Hip" people would line up to see his films but disdain the movies that were his inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640470443420164863.post-67277949436288834232008-08-07T12:03:00.000-04:002008-08-07T12:03:00.000-04:00Interesting.
