Featured review
A look at the varied work of the movie directors
"The Screen Director" is a nine-minute documentary short about just that. Art Gilmore is the uncredited narrator for this look at the job of the film directors. It's interesting in that it covers many details that most movie buffs wouldn't associate with the job. For instance, the checking of costumes, the details of makeup, and more. It concludes with the recognition that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences provides in the annual Academy Awards and the Oscar for best director.
Several prominent directors, with their winning films, are mentioned and shown receiving their Oscars. Among them are Michael Curtiz for "Casablanca," Frank Capra for "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," John Ford for "How Green Was My Valley," Leo McCarey for "Going My Way," William Wyler for "Best Years of Our Lives," Elia Kazan for "Gentleman's Agreement," Joseph Mankiewicz for "A Letter to Three Wives," and John Huston for "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre."
