What critics compared Quintet to
He's made mincemeat out of most other movie genres since day one: the musical (Popeye), the detective film (The Long Goodbye), the war film (M*A*S*H), the western (McCabe and Mrs. Miller), the sci-fi film (Quintet) as well as skewering politics with his cable-TV series Tanner '88 and Hollywood with The Player.
