Personal Quote:
[from 1973] All I want to do is get better and quantity can help me to solve my problems. I'm thrilled by the idea that I'm not even sure how many films I've done. If I don't have a script I adore, I do one I like. If I don't have one I like, I do one that has an actor I like or that presents some technical challenge. See more »Trivia:
He served the United States Army as a radar technician in the Far East during World War II. See more »Trademark:
Most of his films were shot in New York City and almost none of them were shot in Hollywood See more »Star Sign:
