Well few would argue that the Mutiny on the Bounty remake was an abortion. Milestone's other lesser known boat movie The General Died at Dawn wasn't that much better. He did the original Ocean's 11 which I liked. However only The Front Page and Of Mice and Men really do justice to this film. Front Page takes the experimental photography and goes to extremes, and Of Mice and Men manages to pack a similar emotional punch. I'd like to get a hold of more of his silent films and compare them, all I've seen is his work on Harold Lloyd's The Kid Brother, which is certainly one of the finest silent comedies I've seen.
