Films and Filmmakers John Cassavetes Admired

Cassavetes was a fan of Kurosawa but I’m not sure which films… For this list I selected IKIRU. He was also a fan of “early Bergman” so I selected SUMMER INTERLUDE to represent this.

A PLACE IN THE SUN is on the list to represent his admiration for Montgomery Clift, and ON THE WATERFRONT for Marlon Brando.

His favorite directors were Frank Capra and Carl Dreyer.
