When I think of Sidney Pollack, the first film that comes to mind is not a movie that most people associate with him - Three Days of the Condor. That’s probably because, being an actioner, it’s the most up my alley. But more than that, it demonstrates Pollack’s range.

Even though he was, as a storyteller, clearly character-driven (or perhaps because of that) he was able to bring an intensity to the action, pace and stakes of that movie with a little prescient geo-political tension for good measure. I don’t think range is something most people associate with him as a director, but you try making that and Tootsie.

He will be missed.
