Counted as director, the making department they hold the most credits in. The films the hosts said they directed, which the two lists below run through too: Casablanca (1942); Trouble Along the Way (1953).

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

No line says they, or a film of theirs, drew on anything.
