don't know if yous saw the obituary the other day, but above is a link to his best-loved film.  

the intro sets it up so you can appreciate his technical achievement; stick with it to the fun part. 




here is the link to his obit (he was 100 years old):

and this obit which is a bit better:

To me he is the artist with one hundred per cent inspiration AND one hundred per cent perspiration -- work that's not play make jack and jill dull.
