Elliot Silverstein

Elliot Silverstein directed numerous TV productions and scored with his second feature, the Western spoof, "Cat Ballou" (1965), that featured an uncharacteristically humorous dual Oscar-winning performance by Lee Marvin. The director's most notable subsequent film was the lively Richard Harris vehicle, "A Man Called Horse" (1970). Elliot Silverstein died on November 24, 2023 in Los Angeles, CA at the age of 96.
