Talented AND controversial. It is a real shame his output was somewhat limited.... Kazan, Joshua Logan, Fred Zinnemann, Hitchcock, William Wyler, Robert Wise, David Lean and Billy Wilder represent the very best of the golden age of Hollywood... Kazan's best are certainly, East Of Eden, Splendor In The Grass, Gentleman's Agreement, A Streetcar Named Desire, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn and On The Waterfront. Every time I rewatch any of the above films there is always some new nuance that I previously missed on previous viewings which is testament to what a great filmmaker Kazan was.....

about Kazan only having made 19 film is that it's been relatively easy to see all of them. Even the few duds he made were worth seeing. His best films were and are stellar. One of my favorite moments in cinema is the scene in Streetcar when Vivian Leigh is alone in the apartment with the flower seller outside. It's hallucinogenic.
