Fedya Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Saks, who died yesterday at 93, was probably best known for his work on stage, notably directing the works of Neil Simon. On the big screen, he directed several of Simon's plays, among them The Odd Couple and Barefoot in the Park. Apart from directing Neil Simon stuff, Saks also did the really fun movie Cactus Flower which brought Goldie Hawn an Oscar and showed us just how good Ingrid Bergman was at comedy.

Mr. Gorman Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I believe he was married to Bea Arthur for some 20 years; I think they divorced circa 1974 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWFilmfan Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I hope they show an evening of GS films (performed in or directed by). So many of the films in which he acted or that he directed are among my favorites. RIP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
