Arthur Hiller (Canada, 1923) debuted with
The Careless Years (1957),
This Rugged Land (1962), written by Frank Nugent,
and
Miracle of the White Stallions (1963), an adaptation of
Alois Podhajsky's "The Dancing White Horses of Vienna".
He teamed up with playwright Paddy Chayefsky for the antiwar satire The Americanization of Emily (1964), followed by the comedies Promise Her Anything (1965) and Penelope (1966). After the war movie Tobruk (1967), written by Leo Gordon, the comedy The Tiger Makes Out (1967), written by Murray Schisgal, launched a new star: Dustin Hoffman. After Popi (1969), Hiller directed Love Story (1970), the adaptation of Erich Segal's sentimental "Love Story". Another collaboration with Chayefsky yielded another satire, The Hospital (1971). Hiller then collaborated with playwright Neil Simon on two hilarious comedies: The Out-of-Towners (1970), starring Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis, and Plaza Suite (1971), starring Walter Matthau, an adaptation of Simon's own 1968 play. The Out-of-Towners (1970) Then came less and less interesting movies: The Man in the Glass Booth (1975), adapted from Robert Shaw's 1967 novel, Silver Streak (1976), written by Colin Higgins, The In-Laws (1979), written by Andrew Bergman, Making Love (1982), written by Barry Sandler, Author! Author! (1982), starring Al Pacino, Romantic Comedy (1983), The Lonely Guy (1984), Teachers (1984), Outrageous Fortune (1987), written by Leslie Dixon, the mildly entertaining See No Evil Hear No Evil (1989), Taking Care of Business (1990), the biopic The Babe (1992), Married to It (1993), Carpool (1996), An Alan Smithee Film (1997), etc.
