	The Films of Don Siegel
		Siegel's films emerged after the main run of semi-documentary films had come to an end in the early 1950's.
		Siegel's films in turn seem to be a principal model for the American TV crime shows of the 1970's.
		Siegel creates a similar horizontal-zoned effect, in the earlier scene outside the bar, where the cops think the bad guy might be hiding.

	Don Siegel
		Yet one of the fascinations of Don Siegel's films has been their consistent ability to provoke debate, at the same time as skilfully delivering the pleasures required of the action genres (war, thriller, western and so forth) in which he regularly worked.
		Don Siegel's long career can, in many ways, be seen to exemplify the historically changing role of the director in American cinema, its phases reflecting the industry's shifting structures.
		The editing of Siegel's films is always in accord with the style of shooting and the requirements of narrative and genre.

		Siegel, who is among other things a great student of Hitchcock, is on the lot at Universal with great lashings of violence meted out in the starkest and most poetical sense, as this is a film made of elegance, science and violence at their own rate.
		Siegel cuts to a POV in extreme close-up of the surface of the cross, then tilts up to a long shot of its apex.
		Siegel cuts to a long-lens exterior of their limousine driving away, seen through windowpanes, follows it up the snowy road, then tilts up to towers and onion domes in the distance, and as he pans over amongst them, a very large one obtrudes in the foreground.

		Charley Varrick is a 1973 crime film directed by Don Siegel and starring Walter Matthau, Andrew Robinson and Joe Don Baker.
		Another lean Siegel crime thriller, full of well-drawn but unpleasant characters, studied cinematography, music by Lalo Schifrin and, surprisingly, an implausible plot.
		Charley Varrick (Matthau) is a crop-duster by trade ("Last of the Independents", is the byline to his company, and Siegel initially wanted that as the film title).

	Academy Salute To Don Siegel
		The Academy in conjunction with the UCLA Film and Television Archive was kicking off a series of screenings of films by don Siegel by having the tribute, which was going to feature one of Siegel's protégés, Clint Eastwood, on the night of July 20, 2005, at their Samuel Goldwyn Theater on Wilshire Boulevard.
		The two noted that Siegel's experience as a second unit director who worked on montages for about a dozen years before getting his first assignment to direct a film help forge Siegel's style which relied heavily on visuals with a minimum of dialogue.
		They both agreed that one hallmark of Siegel's style was his insistence on the safety of the stuntmen and pointed out that they though he had a perfect record for that.

		Siegel's 1964 Killers (he was, interestingly enough, producer Mark Hellinger's first choice to helm the 1946 version) is a looser adaptation of Hemingway's story.
		Siegel and screenwriter Gene L. Coon dispense with a morally superior audience stand-in and have the killers themselves (Lee Marvin and Clu Gulager) drive the story.
		Wilson and her jazz trio are high and isolated on a balcony, and the director pans down to Cassavetes and Dickinson on a crowded dance floor populated entirely by white couples.

		Veteran genre director Don Siegel directed this simple and gripping story about an actual escape from the supposedly escape-proof Alcatraz.
		Siegel is extremely good at this sort of thing (see his 1954 genre classic, RIOT IN CELL BLOCK 11) and if you like to watch people doing a job, you won't find it done better elsewhere.
		The pace of this movie is a bit slow, but Siegel's deliberate, sparse direction works to the benefit of a film where time is all his characters have.

		For Don Siegel — the subject of a UCLA Film and Television Archive retrospective running through August 7 — that was literally the case.
		From 1973 on, the words “a Siegel film” appeared at the start of his pictures, scrawled on the screen in an elegant cursive script.
		Siegel himself had little regard for the Cold War shenanigans of No Time For Flowers (1952) or the exotic romance of Spanish Affair (1957), while late in his career he became involved in two troubled, high-profile productions whose fortunes are aptly summarized by their titles: Rough Cut (1980) and Jinxed!

		"In the late 50s Siegel was discovered by the young critics (and future directors) of the Cahiers du Cinema - among them Godard, Truffaut, and Rohmer - who crowned him a gifted auteur with a consistent style and point of view, much to his own surprise.
		"Siegel's style does not encompass the demonic distortions of Fuller's, Aldrich's, Losey's, and, to a lesser extent, Karlson's.

	Invasion of the Body Snatchers . Austin Chronicle . 08-03-98
		Four decades ago when the late Don (Dirty Harry) Siegel shot his ominous version of Jack Finney's story, he had no way of knowing it would become a cult classic.
		The inevitable pod people takeover is as normal as can be, yet it produces "an epidemic of mass hysteria" that turns blood relatives against one another.
		Shot in 19 days for $300,000, Siegel's film suffered when the studio asked him to add a sappy prologue and epilogue.

		Directed by the late, great Don Siegel, THE BEGUILED is a type of movie I have never seen before.
		While it is hard to pigeonhole the film into one specific genre, be it a thriller or a psychological drama,it is one of the very few films that without the use of blood and gore,manages to be very disturbing and violent.A raw and primitive violence that is directed more at the viewer's mind and psyche.
		Don Siegel is one of the best American directors,who like Sam Peckinpah,understood the meaning of this violence and did not shy away from showing it without tantalizing the 'voyeur' in his audience.

	DON SIEGEL Series previously at Film Forum in New York City
		In the wake of Siegel’s triumphs in the crime, prison, sci-fi, Western, and cop genres — in at least three of those five categories he set the gold standard — it’s curious to learn that his own favorite movie was David Lean’s heart-wrenching Brief Encounter.
		But the time is long past when Siegel was remembered mainly as the directing mentor of his former assistant Sam Peckinpah and of Eastwood; now his astonishing four-decade career can be seen as creating a distinctive and characteristic body of work in its own right.
		Siegel’s immediate follow-up to his blockbuster Dirty Harry is a fast-moving caper picture, with Varrick trying to get away with the loot before Joe Don Baker’s sadistic — but faultlessly polite — Mafia hit man catches up with him.

		Long a cult favorite and remade several times, Siegel’s version is both a thoughtful McCarthy era parable and an exciting entertainment running a taut 80 minutes.
