Director Don Siegel (1912 – 1991), whose unique storytelling voice was evident on numerous low budget or “B” pictures such as Private Hell 36 (1954), Hell Is for Heroes (1962) and Madigan (1968), will be the subject of this Academy salute featuring an appreciation by special guest Clint Eastwood and host (and Academy Governor) Curtis Hanson. In a conversation interspersed with film clips, Eastwood and Hanson will discuss the films of this innovative stylist who was an inspiration and friend to them both. Siegel’s collaboration with Clint Eastwood on such films as Dirty Harry (1971), The Beguiled (1970) and Escape from Alcatraz (1979), helped shape Eastwood’s career as an actor and coincided with his transition into directing. The salute will culminate with a screening of the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), featuring a new print courtesy of Paramount Pictures. Long a cult favorite and remade several times, Siegel’s version is both a thoughtful McCarthy era parable and an exciting entertainment running a taut 80 minutes. The film was Mr. Eastwood’s selection as representing the qualities he most admires throughout the body of Don Siegel’s work
