It is amazing that Altman has endured this long, through all his career ups and downs. He is 76 now, and I can't think of another American director who has still turned out first-rate work at that age. (Hitchcock was 72 when he made Frenzy, Cukor 65 for My Fair Lady and Wilder 72 for Fedora, which was only first-rate for part of its length.) If Altman's last effort, last year's Dr. T and the Women, was one of his most critically reviled films ever, Gosford Park should do much to salvage his reputation.
