He also produced The Sand Pebbles, one of Steve McQueen's best movies, in my opinion, and probably the most effective 'Vietnam Allegory' type movies from the 1960's.

There are more things in heaven and earth, and in the sky, than perhaps can be dreamt of. And somewhere in between heaven, the sky, the earth, lies the Twilight Zone."
