I like a good suspense film. If it has comedic elements, even better! So it may be no surprise who my two favorite film directors are. This puzzle has five questions about each of them, their collaborators, and their films. OH NO! The clues for both directors got jumbled up together. The good news is that the years, when given, should help sort out who is who. Have fun!

A. Actor who appeared in 6 of the director's films between 1940 and 1959.
B. Actor who played Ulysses Everett McGill under the director.
C. Lead actress in his remake of his own film (22 years after the original).
D. A New York playwright moves to Los Angeles to write a B-movie. Name the character (or the film!). (last name)
E. He was nominated for Best Director in 1997, but alas, he didn't win. What was the 1996 film?

F. Cinematographer who has worked with the director consistently since 1991.
G. Medical name for the malady that afflicts the lead character -- not the name of the movie, which is a misnomer -- in American Film Institute's #1 Mystery movie of all time (which he directed). (+2)
H. His penultimate feature film, in 1972.
I. He finally won the Best Director Oscar (the film won 3 other statuettes that night!). How many words in the film title?
J. Who composed the scores of all of the director's films from 1955 to 1964?
