Among his credits were "Birdman of Alcatraz" (1962), "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962), "Seven Days in May" (1964), "The Train" (1965), "Seconds" (1966), "Grand Prix" (1966), "French Connection II" (1975), "Black Sunday" (1977), and "Ronin" (1998). He won four Emmy Awards—three consecutive—in the 1990s for directing the television movies "Against the WallThe Burning SeasonAndersonville", and "George Wallace", the last of which also received a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries or Television Film. Frankenheimer's 30 feature films and over 50 plays for television were notable for their influence on contemporary thought. He became a pioneer of the "modern-day political thriller", having begun his career at the peak of the Cold War. He was technically highly accomplished from his days in live television; many of his films were noted for creating "psychological dilemmas" for his male protagonists along with having a strong "sense of environment," similar in style to films by director Sidney Lumet, for whom he had earlier worked as assistant director. He developed a "tremendous propensity for exploring political situations" which would ensnare his characters. Movie critic Leonard Maltin writes that "in his time [1960s]... Frankenheimer worked with the top writers, producers and actors in a series of films that dealt with issues that were just on top of the moment—things that were facing us all." <SEP> Georges Chaperot( born 21 April 1902, date of death unknown) was a French screenwriter who co-wrote the story of the film" A Cage of Nightingales"( 1945) with René Wheeler, for which they both received an Academy Award nomination in 1947. Their story would later serve as an inspiration for the hugely successful film" The Chorus"( 2004). <SEP> It s title stems from a famous quote by Albert Einstein:" I can not predict how the Third World War shall be fought, or with what; I can, however, predict that the Fourth World War shall be waged with sticks and stones." Colonel Jack Knowles( Roy Scheider) is a tough, professional soldier who was decorated for gallantry in Vietnam. However, the same gung ho mentality that made Knowles a hero in wartime makes him a dangerous loose cannon in peacetime. He is stationed at an outpost on the West German- Czechoslovakia border and immediately gets into a dangerous personal war with his Soviet counterpart Colonel Valachev. The two men ironically have many of the same characteristics. Knowles is enraged when he has to stand by as a would be refugee is shot on the border and immediately begins crossing the border on dangerous solo missions to sabotage the enemy installations. Knowles comes into conflict with his by the book second- in- command Lieutenant Colonel Clark, and Knowles' superior, General Hackworth, angrily orders him to desist, but to no avail. The petty war between the two men threatens to escalate into a full scale conflict as they engage in hand- to- hand combat on a frozen lake with their countries' armies on both sides ready to begin a full scale war. The Fourth War is a 1990 film directed by John Frankenheimer, set in West Germany of late 1980s. Knowles only relents at the last moment to avoid the conflict. <SEP> A Cage of Nightingales( French: La Cage aux rossignols) is a 1945 French film directed by Jean Dréville.
