Spoken or written by Pauline Kael, presumably during the ‘70s or ‘80s. (It appears in “Conversations with Pauline Kael”, published in ‘96). She could have been talking about the ‘50s and ‘60s films of Stanley Kramer or the ‘60s films of Norman Jewison.

Thanks to Albert Finney (aka “Eddie Ginley”) for posting this quote.
