John Sturges
1) McQ
Description
A police lieutenant resigns from the force to track down some big dope dealers involved in killing a couple of police officers.
3) Joe Kidd
Description
Joe Kidd, which concerns a land war in New Mexico at the turn of the century, marks Clint Eastwood at the top of his form as a western hero. Like a very classic western, it has gunfights, conflicts, and a slambang finale which has a locomotive being driven through a saloon where the bad guys are hiding.
Description
In 1943, the Germans opened Stalag Luft III, a maximum-security prisoner-of-war camp designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. In doing so, however, the Nazis unwittingly assembled the finest escape team in military history--who worked on what became the largest prison breakout ever attempted.

Roosevelt, with particular focus on the love between Holmes and his wife Fanny, and their relationships with their many "sons," Holmes' law students.
