Stanley Kubrick
was another famous Stanley
and although he was a dogged worker
he wasn’t a lurcher
which would’ve been difficult, understandably
as Stanley Kubrick’s hands were more handily
adapted for working cameras
or figuring out the lighting parameters
than Stanley the lurcher’s galumphing great paws
which are cute and all that but have certain flaws
especially when it comes to focusing a shot
so were there ANY famous directors called Stanley who were also a lurcher?
probably not
