On February 16 2010 Howard Winchel Koch died in Hollywood California. He was an American Director and Producer of Motion Pictures and was also responsible for producing the Academy Awards eight times, and served as the President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the late seventies. With this accomplished career in mind, the theme for today will be pictures by Howard Koch... enjoy!
1 The Odd Couple (1968) Director Gene Saks
Comedy about two friends who end up sharing an apartment together, only to realize how different they are-Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are great in their lead roles...
2 The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Director John Frankenheimer
Interesting political thriller about a man who is brainwashed to become an assassin-Angela Lansbury is stellar as the villain, which won her an Oscar Nomination.
3 Ghost (1990) Director Jerry Zucker
After being killed in a robbery, a man (Patrick Swayze) comes back to visit his wife (Demi Moore)as a ghost-Whoopi Goldberg is charming as the clairvoyant, which won her an Academy Award for her performance...
I hope the above picks prove entertaining cinema... enjoy!
