Not at all, Elvis! I did not intend to point a finger at you, nor at anyone for that matter. As a dyed-in-the-wool auteurist, I have come to see that in a world where all directors are hardly created equal, there are a number of films, sometimes good ones, where "authorship" can be rightly attributed to a producer, like Val Lewton or David Selznick, or to a writer, like Dennis Potter or Paddy Chayevsky. Still, let me stress that I am pleased to see more attention being paid to directors today than in the days of my youth, even though it is somewhat excessive when a debut film is credited as " A Film by..." or "A Joe Blow Film". //// These wonderful annual polls that Movie Guide sets up for us are, for me, not at all an attempt to establish any sort of canon, but rather an opportunity to bring some less familiar good films and good filmmakers to the attention of other cinephiles and, occasionally, to give credit to some fine films made by directors I usually don't care for, like Sidney Lumet or Mike Nichols. Even a studio hack can sometimes manage to bring together something that really works. //// Stay well. Bob

Elvis, I too felt at first that Design for Living was not in a class with Trouble in Paradise, but with the passage of time and a number of revisits, I have come to love it dearly. It's certainly one of my three or four favorites from Lubitsch. I especially like his putting Miriam Hopkins front and center, taking full advantage of her off-beat beauty and her amazing sense of humor. This movie also shows that Noel Coward was a man of his time and that Lubitsch belongs to the ages! P.S., I'm always glad to see that someone likes Black Snake Moan! Stay well. Bob

Bitter Rice! Doris Dowling, Vittorio Gassman, and Raf Vallone were the stars, but the teen-age Silvana Mangano stole the show! Incidentally, there's more to the film than beautiful women relaxing in their slips or working in the rice paddies with their skirts tucked up to their waists. Still, that's surely enough to get started!
