sobre Martin Ritt:
"I think form in film is exaggerated," Ritt opined. "I don't want anything to interfere with the story." James Wong Howe's mannered, incandescent photography of the coal mines in The Molly Maguires is the exception that proves the point: Ritt's films are visually prosaic by intention. There are rarely flashbacks and never fancy, show-off editing. "I think guys of my generation relate more to linear films. We start a story and tell it in sequence," Ritt commented on his doggedly old-time studio style.
What makes Ritt a genuine auteur, however, and an auteur to champion, is his unwavering commitment to progressive political themes within the Hollywood form of storytelling. That's exactly what has turned aesthete cultists away. "My points of view have always been independently left," he said. "I'm not afraid to reflect that."
