A few weeks ago, I wondered if Claremont McKenna college students ever made forays into film or the movies, given its proximity to Los Angeles. Sure enough, they were involved big time.
Little did I know that two of the greatest screenwriters in film history went to our fair college.
They are Paul Brickman and Douglas Day Stewart
Brickman wrote and directed Risky Business, probably one of the best comedies of the last twenty-five years. It certainly launched Tom Cruise's career.
Stewart wrote An Officer and a Gentleman which probably ranks as one of the best military dramas of '80s.
