...DIED. CLYDE SUKEFORTH, 98, Brooklyn Dodgers catcher, coach and scout who brought Jackie Robinson to the majors in 1947; in Waldoboro, Maine. Dodgers president Branch Rickey dispatched Sukeforth to scout Negro League shortstop Robinson despite an unwritten rule against black players. Sukeforth was also known to Brooklyn fans as the coach who in 1951 sent pitcher Ralph Branca rather than Carl Erskine in to face the New York Giants' Bobby Thomson in the ninth inning of the pennant play-off.

After just seven films, this Yale grad...

"It's the reverse of Unsolved Mysteries, where the narrator says, 'She walked through the door,' and a woman walks through a door. I try to capture an idea in images. It's dreamscape...
...camp after a raid, Lee imposes a layer of complexity on the film, for George Clyde (Simon Baker) has a black slave, Daniel Holt (Jeffery Wright) in his company. Holt serves the confederate cause, and his unique position as a slave torn between loyalty for his master and boyhood friend, Clyde, and his desire for freedom, adds the most intriguing and ironic layer to the film...
