《Red Windmill》

Japanese: 《赤い風車》 - あかいふうしゃ
《Red Windmill》

...One of the directors of the postwar "Red Scare" generation (Georges Sadoul called him "Hollywood's Lost Generation"). After his film "The Red Badge of the Brave" (1951), which was seen as a protest against the "Red Scare," was cut to shreds by the producer, he continued to pursue his dilettantism as a skilled director, making a variety of films, including a biopic of painter Lautrec ("The Red Mill" 1952), a western ("The Unforgiven" 1960, "Roy Bean" 1972), a historical spectacle ("The Creation" 1965), a spy movie ("The Kremlin Letter" 1970, "The Macintosh Man" 1972), and a musical ("Annie" 1982). For this reason, while he was Hollywood's most commercial director, he was considered Hollywood's "unbranded cow" (maverick), and his most famous works are often counted among them The Misfits (1961), the last film to feature Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, and the boxing film Fat City (1971).
