...both those awards again for All About Eve (1950). He also directed one of the biggest film flops of all time: Cleopatra (1963, starring Elizabeth Taylor). But his cinematic successes were legion, and legendary: The Philadelphia Story (James Stewart), No Way Out (Sidney Poitier), Guys and Dolls (Marlon Brando), Suddenly Last Summer (Montgomery Clift), Woman of the Year (Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy) and more...
