i do need to know.?

Question

is Elia Kazan great director?

Answer 1

He has a pretty good list of movies=East of Eden, On The Waterfront, Streetcar Named Desire, etc.
Of course, those were made in the 50's....
His films are lost on most people born after 1965, myself included.

Thank you misstexas for proving my point

Answer 2

Yes, he's a very important director in the history of cinema, but some people downplay his accomplishments because of his cooperation with McCarthy during the Blacklist.

Put another way, great filmmaker, questionable human being.

Answer 3

i have no idea
