| | King Vidor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) |
 | | King Vidor's films range across all genres, but they are unified by a concern with the struggle for selfhood in a pluralistic, mass society. |
| | Vidor spent his last years producing two short films on metaphysics, lecturing at film schools and retrospectives of his work, and trying to interest producers in various projects, including a film based on his investigation of the 1924 William Desmond Taylor murder case. |
| | Vidor's darkly humanistic vision, accompanied (especially in the 1925-35 period) by a striking and eclectic visual style, made him one of the most influential directors of his time. |
