Tossup

The writer of one of this director’s films pitches a hack sequel in which the three principals “live in a big spooky house” in the first scene of Robert Altman’s The Player. This director reunited with that writer for a 1973 George C. Scott film with the tagline “unwittingly, he trained a dolphin to kill the president of the United States.” This director used a POV shot (15[1])to show (15[1])a character in a full (*) scuba suit jumping to the bottom of a pool. This director hired fellow improv veteran (10[1])Buck Henry to write a film in which a character uses a cross to barricade a wedding party in a church. This director altered lyrics about Eleanor Roosevelt for a film in which Anne Bancroft is asked, “You’re trying to seduce me… aren’t you?” For 10 points, name this director of The Graduate. ■END■
