I've been a long time fan of Bob Clark's work ever since I was first blown away by Dead Of Night in the early '70s. His classic Black Christmas doesn't get the widespread credit it deserves having been eclipsed by the inferior Halloween which appeared a few years later. The fact that he could produce films like these, the oft-derided but still hysterically funny Porky's films and one of the best of the Sherlock Holmes movies (Murder By Decree) is a tribute to his skill and versatility. To lose a talent like this is always tragic, but for Bob and his son to be snatched away in such a random senseless fashion is truly terrible. I can't begin to imagine the anguish and shock their family and friends are feeling right now, but my heart goes out to them. 571206@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Apr 2007 09:13:09 EDT
