Directors wishlist
Paul Newman never appeared to go out of his way to work with a specific performer or director. Newman's experiences with some of Hollywood's greatest veteran directors like Michael Curtiz, Otto Preminger, Alfred Hitchcock and Leo McCarey were not happy ones [sometimes personally or professionally]. I think Newman probably would have worked well [professionally, if not personally] with;
