		Though Zinnemann does not attempt to diagnose the underpinnings of her need to embrace this life of repression, extinction of self does suggest a quasi-suicidal drive, and the order's rituals designed to suppress the individual begin to resemble the actions of a cult.
		Zinnemann simply but unforgettably conveys the horror of a Belgian mental asylum through the deafening sound of women locked inside wooden tubs, beating their heels against the sides while moaning and screaming.
		Zinnemann blamed his producer for adding the bland narration, but the director himself overplays his emotive resources at the finale, with heavenly choirs that swell at the climactic embrace of mother and child, then adds insistent gushing of happy ending falsities that “Everything's all right now” and “Nothing can happen to you now”.

		And in JULIA (1977), another of Zinnemann's crowning achievements, Vanessa Redgrave is a doomed American heiress who forsakes the safety and comfort of great wealth to devote her life to the anti-Nazi cause in Germany.
		Perhaps the most unusual and perversely engaging loner in Zinnemann's films is Edward Fox as the cold-blooded anti-hero assassin in the taut thriller THE DAY OF THE JACKAL (1973), a man who is impelled by greed rather than politics to try to kill French president DeGaulle.

		Trained as both a violinist and a lawyer, Zinnemann moved to America in 1937 after working on Menschen am Sonntag (1929), in Germany and The Wave (1934) in Mexico.
		Zinnemann's lasting fame rests on two extraordinary films— High Noon (1952), the now classic western starring Gary Cooper as a soon-to-be-retired marshal, and From Here to Eternity (1953), which won eight Academy Awards, including best picture, direction, supporting actor (Frank Sinatra), supporting actress (Donna Reed), screenplay, and cinematography.
		A trained cameraman, Zinnemann's films are remarkable for their effective use of visual composition, yet he never developed a personal style and was therefore largely ignored by the auteur-dominated criticism of the 1960s and 70s.

	A Hatful of Rain (Fred Zinnemann): Eva Marie Saint Don Murray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Despite real, unromantic New York locations and Joseph MacDonald’s beautifully realistic fl-and-white camera work, this Fred Zinnemann-directed melodrama feels anachronistically stagebound because of the overall artificiality of the dialogue and the hammy theatricality of the performances—with Eva Marie Saint as the sole naturalistic exception.
		Even though the screenplay is surely at fault, most of the blame for the general inadequacy of the cast must go to director Fred Zinnemann, who by that time—he had already won an Academy Award, for From Here to Eternity—should have learned how to control his actors.
		By letting them loose, Zinnemann lets the tragic truth of A Hatful of Rain—a self-absorbed society’s utter disregard for the fate of a war veteran—disappear under all the histrionics of his cast.
