The Directors: Henry Koster

I have seen most of Henry Koster's movies.  He made no westerns or film noirs but he did a number of lesser musicals and more importantly he worked with many people whose films usually found me sitting in the audience... Jimmy Stewart, Betty Grable, Jean Simmons, Richard Burton, among them.  Most of his career was spent at 20th Century Fox as a second-tier director.
