On his return to LA, he made Ruby and Oswald (1978), The Hunter (1980), Any Which Way You Can (1980), Deadly Force (1983), Jagged Edge (1985), Medium Rare (1987), Romero (1989), The Godfather Part III (1990), Guilty by Suspicion (1991), I Don't Buy Kisses Anymore (1992), Showgirls (1995), The Phantom (1996), the TV movie Boss of Bosses (2001), The Complete Guide to Guys (2005), Fragments (2008) and Goy (2011), his last. He and his wife would have celebrated their diamond wedding next June.
