	Norman Jewison - Films as director:, Other films:
		Early work with an aging and cantankerous Judy Garland marked him as a man at ease with the cinema's sacred monsters; in the indifferent sex comedies of the early 1960s, he acquired equal skill with the pastels of Hollywood color and the demands of widescreen.
		Its elements—rich crimsons; the sheen of faces, tanned or sweating, in shadowed rooms; an edgy passion in performance—reappeared in In the Heat of the Night and The Thomas Crown Affair, novelettes redeemed by their visual flair and a sensual relish, not for sex, but for the appurtenances of power.
		Among Jewison's 1990s films are Other People's Money (about an all-consumingly greedy Wall Street type, a role tailor-made for Danny De Vito) and Only You (the story of an incurable romantic and her quest for true love)—both well-crafted and likeable but never truly memorable.

	Profile and Interview: Norman Jewison
		Jewison returned to the States in the late Seventies and kept plugging away at various projects, such as And Justice for All (1979), Best Friends (1982), A Soldier's Story (1984), and Agnes of God (1985).
		Knowing Jewison's professional history, it is no surprise that his latest project, The Statement, deals with heavy themes, propelled by a “great story.” At a recent roundtable, Jewison discussed working with Michael Caine as Pierre Brossard, a very flawed human whose actions were once inhumane.
		Jewison: I cast it the same way Polanski cast The Pianist and [Frears] did Dangerous Liaisons and many films because when you deal with a film that takes place in Europe, and you're going to work in English, you'd better work with European actors.

	The Hurricane (Norman Jewison): Denzel Washington Liev Schreiber (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Never a brilliant director, Jewison has at least managed to imbue most of his films with a modicum of depth—and at times even more than that.
		Jewison’s tendency to simplify his stories in order to make them more “accessible” is taken to extremes in The Hurricane, thus diluting the complexity of the real-life drama while turning Denzel Washington’s Carter into a B-movie victim-hero.
		Despite the unwillingness of the New Jersey authorities to reopen the case, the determined Lesra (for whom the Hurricane has developed fatherly feelings) and his Canadians will keep on fighting until the innocent man is released from jail.

		Directed by Norman Jewison and adapted by Donald Margulies from his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, this acclaimed HBO production offers a welcome antidote to the superficiality of mainstream Hollywood.
		With the same attention to emotional detail that he brought to Moonstruck, Jewison establishes a delicate balance of anguish and bittersweet humor, reaching peak intensity as two couples confront the aftershocks of infidelity.
		While Jewison and cinematographer Roger Deakins expertly translate the stagy material, the revealing, nonjudgmental quality of Margulies's dialogue inspires excellence from this quartet of underrated actors.

	dOc DVD Review: The Directors: Norman Jewison (1999)
		He has always seemed to me to be one of the best directors that most people haven't ever heard of; Jewison is enormously under-appreciated even though he has made such classics as In the Heat of the Night, Fiddler on the Roof, A Soldier's Story and Moonstruck.
		We are given several lengthy interview sessions with Jewison himself (taped during the 1995 filming of Bogus), as well as brief clips of interviews with stars Sidney Poitier, Rod Steiger, Whoopi Goldberg (listed in the titles as Whoopie), James Caan, Sylvester Stallone, Goldie Hawn and others.
		Extras Review: The only extra is a two-screen filmography of Jewison as a director; no filmography is provided for the numerous films where he has acted as producer, although a few of them are noted in the program itself.
