yeah, but I'm just talking about guys who literally directed one movie

Oh, got it.

James William Guercio who directed Electra Glide In Blue.

nice. never heard of it, but the imdb reviews make me want to see it...sounds really good.

It's very good but that ending: Never saw that coming.

didn't even know that. interesting that he didn't direct any more, considering how many he wrote

the soundtrack album by AC/DC was one of the first albums I ever bought

It's a "wonder," all right. You wonder what he was thinking, wonder why it was made, wonder how it was made...

Not so much a "hit," except that maybe you feel like you're brain's been hit with a baseball bat...

I think Frank Sinatra directed one film too: None But The Brave.

zombie no.one · August 03, 2019, 02:46:20 PM

yep, looks like he did...

not often you can say Frank Sinatra and "one hit wonder" in the same sentence

Jack Lemmon too: he directed the movie Kotch.
