Juri--How about Cornfield's The Night of The Following Day?
It's supposed to be Brando's movie but Richard Boone almost
takes it from him in every scene--an astonishingingly creepy
thug. Parts of the picture are a mess because of its
misguided pretentiousness but it has moments of true suspense
and human power, especially the junkie scenes with Rita
Moreno. Cornfield died recently. Somebody who'd worked with
him (and tried to like him) said that he always told you what
he thought and told you in the most demeaning way possible,
thus limiting the number of optons he had in both features
and TV. He had something like an eighth grade education and
made up for it by smiting people he saw as his superiors,
which must have been just about everything. Still and all he
did some very interesting and sometimes brave work.
