Sydney Pollack (1934-2008)

This week, Sydney Pollack passed away at 73.  A.O. Scott, in the New York Times, thoughtfully considers Pollack’s place in American film.  An L.A. Times article includes a guide to Pollack’s most memorable movies, such as The Way We Were, Three Days of the Condor, and Out of Africa.  And finally, Entertainment Weekly magazine did a nice tribute to him, which includes a hilarious YouTube clip of him as the agent in Tootsie.  Request your copy of Tootsie today–it’s hilarious and sweet and definitely well worth watching again and again.
