Dick Richards (born 1936) is an American film director, producer and writer.After working as a photographer, Richards went on to direct commercials. His career in film began by writing and directing a western, The Culpepper Cattle Co. (1972), and continued with such films as Farewell, My Lovely (1975), March or Die (1977), and Man, Woman and Child (1983).Though initially considered to direct Tootsie (1982), complications arose with the script, and he assumed the role of producer instead, for which he received an Academy Award nomination.
My favorite quote I ever heard about one of my films was from Rex Reed, who said, "Farewell, My Lovely is the kind of movie Humphrey Bogart would have stood in line to see."
