And I don't overlook your qualifier that this is all off the top of your head. Really I don't think there's a bad pick in your whole piece.<br /><br />But if you're going to rate <i>TPS's</i> supporting cast, well... all credit to Roland Young and Henry Daniell as you mentioned, but Ruth Hussey and Virginia Weidler have to have to <i>have to</i> be prominent in that conversation. Even John Howard brought just the right tinge of modulated antipathy to keep George Kittredge from becoming just another Ralph Bellamy doesn't-get-the-girl guy.<br /><br />Now for my own nomination: Ron Howard's 1994 <i>The Paper</i>, with Michael Keaton, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Jason Robards, Randy Quaid, Marisa Tomei, Catherine O'Hara, Jason Alexander, and Spalding Gray!

All four films he directed that decade are critical hits. Three of them are usually found on most top 10 or 20 all time best film lists. Also you can give him bonus points for winning the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Patton as well.

But that's probably because I love His Girl Friday so much. It's got to be in my top five films of all time. The Preston Sturges list and the Woody Allen 1980s list would vie for second place. I have to admit that I have only seen one of the films on the Michelangelo Antonioni list.
