This question is for Mark. After doing the research for your book, did you find yourself reevaluating the work of any of the Five? I read Five Came Back when it was originally released and found myself completely fascinated with George Stevens, and wound up tracking down a lot of his work that I had never seen (I had somehow missed The More The Merrier, which I thought was completely delightful!) and now happily rank A Place In The Sun as one of my favorite movies of all time (a lot of my favorite movies seem to involve Shelley Winters drowning, but I think that's a coincidence...). I guess finally, and apologies if this is an annoying question, can you name your favorite pre WWII and post WWII film for each of the the Five? You can too, Laurent!
