 | FranksWildYears (60) 06/13/2008 | Strong with dense serious subject matter and pushes most of his actors to the best work of their careers. He produced a handfull of the greatest films of his generation, The Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, The Outsiders. His forays into lighter fare have met with mixed results. One from the Heart lacked the right touch to make it float off the screen, Jack was just plain misguided, Tucker had its jazzy moments. For me, the only time he successfully pulled off a flight of fancy was Cotton Club, which more than makes up for a few duds.
