I seldom think about film producers. As a viewer, it's the director and actors on whom I focus most. But Sydney Pollack was different. Perhaps it's because Pollack also acted and because he produced terrific films. I always thought he was a class act.
RIP Mr. Pollack.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

So long Sydney. Don't forget that he was a well-reknowned director as well. Tootsie is one of my favorite comedies.

How could I have overlooked his directing career? You are so right, Scott. A true triple threat.

Me too.
With so much dreck being made in Hollywood these days, it's always a sad thing when someone who did a lot of high quality work passes on.
