The Directors: Mark Robson

One might wonder how I became attached to a director who made only one western and no musicals but strange things do sometimes happen.  Mark Robson (pronounced ROBEson) made film noirs and socially-conscious films, tender love stories and war stories that went beyond battle scenes.  He had a knack for finding projects that were based on best-selling books.  He did some blockbusters that were popular with the public but not critics.  I've long thought that overall he had an eclectic and stimulating body of work.
