One of my favorite directors. Loved his films. M*A*S*H, Brewster, McCabe I can watch over and over. He was a real film maker.

He also was one of the early directors of the TV show Combat! which I loved. My dad and I used to watch it all the time. His were some of the great episodes. It's on a cable channel now and holds up beautifully.

I was always very partial to his version of `The Long Goodbye.'
