Norman Jewison, Director. Rollerball (God, that was a truly ground breaking picture) as was The Heat of the Night with the beautiful Sydney Poitier and the inimitable Rod Steiger: brilliant doesn't cover it. Left a mark Norm, RIP.
I'm adding this quote from his autobiography (thnx BBC)
"I have tended to show humanity as fallible, sensitive, befuddled, misled but redeemable, rather than mindless, relentlessly violent,"
Good try there Norm, no cigar I'm afraid.
