LITTLE BIG MAN

Arthur Penn

Arthur Penn (Pittsburg, PA, USA, 1922 - New York City, USA, 2010) was one of New Hollywood’s favorite directors. His movies have always carefully described and criticized American society. His most successful films include the drama The Miracle Worker (1962), which received two Oscars; the schizophrenic Mickey One (1965), influenced by Europe’s nouvelle vague; the gangster movie Bonnie & Clyde (1967), which also won two Oscars; the crepuscular western Little Big Man (1970); the disenchanted noir Night Moves (1975); another western, only more crude and desperate, The Missouri Breaks (1976); and the mournful drama Four Friends (1981).
