Movie Haiku:Loving tribute to a famous father & great American mensch. Stevens directed humanistic classics such as SHANE, but he also distinguished himself in Eisenhower’s army (filming the troops from D-Day thru the liberation of Dachau), & stood firm against the right-wing's attempted takeover of the DGA during the McCarthy era.
