...What gets lost about conversations about George is he's an amazing, intelligent, soulful actor...His temperament is just superb: he's a collaborator, he knows what your day is like as a director and he's directed. He cares about all the performers that are there, he cares about the crew, he's part of the team and not in some f---- up 'I want everybody to love me' kind of way. He really does care about being part of the team...
Agnelli has enjoyed superb timing, but mining analyst John Tumazos says Vale's real edge is a willingness to explore the new mining frontier, in developing countries, years before the competition.

...kinds of movies ran into the wall of the Academy's genre snobbery. Crime movies (later known as film noir) had a dark glory, a stinging postwar fatalism, but flew under the Academy's radar and beneath its contempt. Of the hundreds of westerns in the '50s, some were superb, like Ford's The Searchers and Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo, but even those A-list directors could not interest Oscar in their oaters--zero nominations for those two great films-- or in John Wayne's towering performances in them...
