The Underdog's Director; John Schlesinger Made Films With Empathy for the Losers
2003
Overview
\"Midnight Cowboy\" was undoubtedly the pinnacle of a career that would prove to be uneven. Like most directors who don't write, [John Schlesinger] was a captive to the material he was given to work with; unlike, say, Martin Scorsese or Robert Altman, he didn't put a distinctive signature on every film he made. There are more than a few \"unfortunates\" tacked on before Schlesinger titles, including his most recent films, \"The Next Best Thing\" (in which even Schlesinger's proven genius with actors couldn't help Madonna) and \"Eye for an Eye,\" a grisly thriller starring a miscast Sally Field. And there were too many television movies to mention or even recall.
