[=SDC=] Q64 Who about who?
Question 64:
Some folks at Totally Official dot Com enjoy the Sunday Times! Here's an excerpt from a Sunday Times article that appeared in the same decade that a US President was assassinated. Please examine this excerpt and tell us (1) who was the author? and (2) who was the author referring to? Of course this is a toughie (you can forget Google), but it's fair; and the excerpt provides all the needed information.
Here's the excerpt:
"...Every time you get set he jabs you off balance by wanting to do a love scene on top of the Jefferson Memorial or something like that. ...He has a strong feeling for stage business and mood and background, not so much for the guts of the business. I guess that's why some of his pictures lose their grip on logic and turn into wild chases. Well, it's not the worst way to make a picture. His idea of characters is rather primitive. Nice Young Man, Society Girl, Frightened Woman, Sneaky Old Beldam, Spy, Comic Relief, and so on. But he is as nice as can be to argue with..."

Hmmm, I think I can guess who s/he is speaking about, but who's speaking? There's a few possibilities. Am I allowed to make multiple guesses
in the same post?
