Movies made by directors in their 60's:
Kagemusha, Ran (Akira Kurosawa)
Psycho, The Birds, Marnie (Alfred Hitchcock)
Bullets over Broadway, Mighty Aphrodite, Sweet and Lowdown (Woody Allen)
Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, The Man Who Would Be King, Under the Volcano, Prizzi's Honor, The Dead (John Huston)
Mister Roberts, The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (John Ford)
Fanny and Alexander (Ingmar Bergman)
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, That Obscure Object of Desire (Luis Bunuel).
Sure, for every Mighty Aphrodite, there's a AMll Time Crooks, but that's kind of the way the business works. Even earlier in the great directors careers for every Manhattan, there's a September (to continue to pick on Woody Allen).
Perhaps instead of Mr. Gilliam hanging it up, Mr. O'Hehir, you should go take a time out until you are old enough and wise enough to know better than to trash a master of his craft because of his age.
