PS: In this video I haven’t yet started the tradition of introducing the directors and writers so I mention them here along with some of their other known works. Director: Michael Anderson (Logan’s Run). Writers: James Poe (Cat on a Tin Hot Roof), John Farrow (director of Hondo starring John Wayne) and S.J. Perelman (Monkey Business starring the Marx brothers). Read the rest of this entry →
