Richard Fleischer, dead at 89

Son of Max Flesicher, he was a terrific craftsman. Maybe my favorite of his works was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (the best live-action Disney, as well, until Lynch's The Straight Story came along). I'd love to have seen his 3-hour cut of Mandigo, said to be a great film.
