i.e. directors who only have one solitary directing credit to their name (according to imdb)...
Buddy Cooper: THE MUTILATOR
https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0177908/filmotype/director?ref_=m_nmfm_2I love this film so much. in my top 10 bad movies of all time for sure, and maybe creeping into my top 10, period!
apparently Buddy had a choice between buying a vineyard or making a movie. I'm glad he chose the latter. never directed anything before or since.
feel free to add on any more movie one-hit wonders. (I'm aware some directors use pseudonyms, so those would not count)
