A
CONVERSATION WITH
RON MAXWELL
The
critically acclaimed Director who brought us two epic civil war
movies, Gettysburg (1993) and Gods and Generals (2003),
discusses his work, both past and present. “
Gettysburg
,” which starred Jeff Daniels and Martin Sheen, was hailed by
film critical Leonard Maltin as “magnificent and
awe-inspiring,” while “Gods and Generals,” starring Robert
Duvall and Stephen Lang, was hailed as the “best American
historical film period” by American Enterprise Magazine.
