Ted Post, R. I. P.

NYTimes.com: Ted Post, a prolific director who collaborated with Clint Eastwood on two hit films, directed hundreds of episodes of television series like “Gunsmoke,” “Peyton Place” and “Rawhide,” and made a low-budget film about the Vietnam War that was widely ignored when it was released in 1978 but is now regarded by many critics as one of the best in its genre, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 95. His son, Robert, confirmed the death.  

Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

I missed the Burt Lancaster Vietnam movie back then because of The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now, but bought it later. Burt Lancaster always makes a good movie.
