Was Alfred Hitchcock an auteur? Was Richard Fleischer? Is the movie director the sole "author" of a film? We asked Movie Irv his opinion about the famous controversy known as "the auteur theory," developed in the 1950s by the French magazine Cahiers du Cinema and championed by American film critic Andrew Sarris. Is filmmaking an art for which the director is solely responsible, or is cinema more of a collaborative and industrial process where every craftsperson plays an equal role.
