Director Richard Rush
Having had the privilege of being directed by Richard Rush in “The Stunt Man,†I find The Times’ comments regarding him to be, at best, unfathomable (“Who’s Got the Right to ‘Color’ Final Cut?,†April 23).
The Richard Rush I know and worked with is a man of impeccable integrity, ferocious perfectionism and loyalty. How these traits can somehow be perceived as character flaws is beyond my comprehension. I applaud his “24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week†dedication to a film into which he has poured his blood, sweat and soul. STEVE RAILSBACK
