Stanley Kramer: Hollywood’s moral compass
As both a producer and a director, Stanley Kramer was fearless.
As an independent producer and director, he brought attention to topical social issues that most studios avoided. Director Steven Spielberg described him as an "incredibly talented visionary" and "one of our great filmmakers, not just for the art and passion he put on screen, but for the impact he has made on the conscience of the world."
