I was bored, so I saw City of Conquest, a James Cagney, Ann Sheridan
movie with lines quite passable.......
Anyway I do agree that Elia Kazan was one of the best directors
in cinema history......... years ago I knew one of his dog walkers, and was given a tour of his townhouse house, saw all the Oscars (On The Waterfront, Gentlemen's Agreement) two the his movies I liked the least (ha, always hated On The Waterfront which featured my favorite actor)......I never did meet Elia Kazan, but would have made the effort somehow if I had seen the movie City of Conquest. It happened that this small part guy in it was my favorite character, and it was to my great surprise that the character who had to make the most personality transitions for his role was Elia Kazan.
