  Amazon.ca: Guilty by Suspicion (Full Screen): DVD: Irwin Winkler,Robert De Niro,Annette Bening,George Wendt,Patricia ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Veteran producer Irwin Winkler's first film as a director is a solid, if predictable, drama on the devastating effects of the House Un-American Activities Committee on Hollywood in the 1950s.
The story of a highly regarded film director (Robert De Niro) who refuses to name his friends before the HUAC and the terrible aftermath of that decision, the film demonstrates how the lives of hundreds of people were irrevocably altered or destroyed by the fanatical star-chamber.
Winkler, who also wrote the film, seems to have been trying for a low-key approach to a subject that would seem to lend itself to hysteria, but in the process he has gone too far in the opposite direction and drained away much of the drama.

  Irwin Winkler - Films as producer with robert chartoff:, Other films as producer:
The career of producer Irwin Winkler is so involved with that of his long-time partner Robert Chartoff—in 1983 screenwriter William Goldman described them as "best friends forever, and partners for damn near as long"—that though the business relationship ended in the 1980s, it is still difficult to consider them separately.
Winkler is generally credited with negotiating the deal between UA, Scorsese, and Robert De Niro, a feat which, according to Steven Bach, involved an uncredited rewrite of the script by director and star.
Winkler learned the lessons of paranoia taught by the McCarthy era, but has so far proved incapable of extending his knowledge beyond simple didacticism.

Winkler also conveys postwar prosperity in a shot of the rooftop sign of the “Million Dollar Hotel Rosslyn” in Los Angeles, tilting down to a gun shop signboard in the shape of a pistol filling the screen.
This is the larger sense in which Winkler alludes to people and their beliefs, under the rubric of freedom from fear, equal justice under the law, American principles and beliefs and sound ones in general.
It’s perfectly measured by Winkler, who is able to use it in close, this face, to carve a scene without violence, or in a receding POV shot to convey emotion.

Winkler confesses a disdain for using studio sets for interiors, preferring to shoot on actual locations, even if the street life passing by the huge windows is not readily visible.

Winkler was comfortable with the role of producer, putting his weight behind different stories he wanted to see on screen, and getting to work with some impressive directors, until the desire to direct himself seemed ripe.

 Irwin Winkler at Hollywood.com
Though he had made films inside the Hollywood studio system, Winkler has been more than happy to express his disappointment with the ever-increasing corporatization of the business and the lack of creative risk-taking that was par for the course when he came of age in the late 1960s.
Winkler was born on May 25, 1931 in Brooklyn, NY to a father in the wholesale silk business and a housewife mother.
Winkler helped release several other forgettable features, including the unavoidable, but unnecessary “Rocky V” (1990), before returning to form with another Scorsese-De Niro collaboration on the seminal gangster epic, “Goodfellas” (1990).

 SPLICEDwire | "Life As a House" review (2001) Irwin Winkler, Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas, Hayden Christensen
Writer Mark Andrus ("As Good As It Gets") and director Irwin Winkler ("The Net," "At First Sight") construct the emotional framework of this film on a sometimes shaky foundation -- the predictably prickly relationship between George and his troubled, hostile son Sam (Hayden Christensen).
The aforementioned girl next door -- played by the suddenly grown up and alluring Jena Malone ("Contact," "Stepmom") -- uses Sam as a test subject for her budding sexuality, telling him he can shower at her house (there's no bath in George's garage), then jumping right in with him.
Winkler goes easy on the heartstrings and it pays off with bona fide poignancy that's sustained right up to the movie's closing credits.
