Woody graduated from Harvard with honors in history in 1924, and began his career if teaching and conducting in 1925. At his death, he was James Edward Ditson Professor of Music. During 1965-66, he served as Acting Master of Adams House...
...films, Jean Rouch's "Garedu Nord" is perhaps equally stunning and disturbing. Rouch who, along with Chris Marker, invented Cinema-verite (the difference between Maker and Rouch and the recent American copies is roughly that between the incredible Hitchcock of Vertigo and the bankrupt Polanski of Repulsion) is a master at forcing an audience to change their sympathies.

...course none of this means that movies should be censored or directors shouldn't show all they feel necessary.
