I admire Clint Eastwood a lot and think he is a genius film director comparable to John Huston and John Ford proving again and again that he is capable of handling any subject and giving it a fine finish. The talent of Clint is not limited to film direction only but he has excelled in acting as well. His forceful acting and direction has given us many good films: Fistful of Dollars, Good bad & ugly, Where eagles dare, Paint your wagon, Breezy, Play misty for me, Outlaw Josey Wales, The gauntlet, Beguiled, Pale rider, The unforgiven, Bridges of Madison, Midnight in the garden of good and evil and now Million dollar baby-the list is very impressive. Well done Clint but we want more films of high standard from you as we can't accept less than that. So please continue producing and directing and for that we wish you a long and healthy life.

The popularity of Taxi Driver established Dev Anand as one of the three most popular romantic heroes of the fifties/sixties.The other two being Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar. Dev was more dashing and debonair.With Taxi Driver and Baazi before that, Dev also punished baddies with punches and arms twisting to give a tougher image to his acting and please his fans. Coming back to enormously popular and financially successful Taxi Driver, the film had all round appeal. This was a trend setting crime thriller noir one of its kind. They do'not make like this any more.Good acting, story, photography, music, direction, you name it and all is there. Songs like JAYEN TO JAYEN KAHAN, Dev singing on juju sea beach after writing MALA (Kalpana Kartick) on sand swept by sea wave, is very touching. Talat Mahmood, the background singer is at his best, so are Sahir Ludhianvi's lyrics and music by immortal Sachin Dev Burman, Dev Anand's favourite music director. There are other unforgettable songs in the film. Taxi Driver remains one of Dev's greatest films.
