Packet 8: Tossup 5

In a video shot by Dave Myers, Ice Cube professes his admiration for these two directors. While location scouting in Canada for the film The Spirit of St. Louis, these two filmmakers noticed a director’s fondness for taking naps like lighthouse keepers. A gift by that director inspired a short film by these two filmmakers for which Elmer Bernstein composed Toccata for Toy Trains. These two filmmakers, who were the best man and maid of honor at Billy Wilder’s second wedding, directed a film whose opening sequence shows a woman reading a J. T. Fraser book at a picnic in Chicago’s Burnham Park. In the second (15[1])of a two-part film series (15[1])by these two (15[1])directors, MIT physicist Philip Morrison narrates an extreme zoom out and zoom in while a (15[1])(*) number to the right (10[1])of the frame increases and decreases; IBM commissioned those two films, (10[1])the Powers of Ten series. (-5[1])For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])name these two married directors who designed a namesake lounge chair and (10[1])ottoman. ■END■ (10[5]0[1])
