Has anyone besides me heard of J. Lee Thompson ?
He directed a few great Gregory Peck films such as _The Guns of
Navarone_ and _Cape Fear_ (a virtually unknown picture, but stupendous).
He also directed last year's box office flop _The Ambassadors_ (or was
it just _The Ambassador_ ?  I forget.) starring Rock Hudson and Robert
Mitchum.  Anybody know of any other of his works ?  He is a great
director.  

In _Cape Fear_ he directed a scene that looked Hitchcockian style, with
water reflections hitting the ceiling of the houseboat.  A very
suspenseful scene, it was.

What else has he done ?
