Sidney Pollack, uno de los directores de cine con más sentido y sensibilidad, ha muerto. Su lista de películas como director, productor y actor es larga y cuenta con algunos notorios desaciertos.

He was looking for a Hawken gun, .50 caliber or better. He settled for a .30, but damn, it was a genuine Hawken, and you couldn't go no better. Bought him a good horse, and traps, and other truck that went with being a mountain man, and said good-bye to whatever life was down there below. "
