My previous post on Tim Allen’s first and only film as a direct, “Crazy on the Outside,” made me think of other performers who tested their hands at filmmaking – once and only once. (Televsion and cable movies, and documentaries, don't count, only theatrical narratives.) Here goes…
Johnny Depp - "The Brave" (1997)
Anne Bancroft – “Fatso” (1980)
Jack Lemmon – “Kotch” (1971)
Marlon Brando – “One-Eyed Jacks” (1961)

Talia Shire - "One Night Stand" (1995)
Richard Pryor - "Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling" (1986)

James Caan – “Hide in Plain Sight” (1980)
Anthony Quinn - "The Buccaneer" (1958)
Tommy Lee Jones - "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" (2005)

Karl Malden – “Time Limit” (1957)
Sally Field – “Beautiful” (2000)

Edward Norton - "Keeping the Faith" (2000)
Antonia Banderas – “Crazy in Alabama” (1999). (Banderas also directed a Spanish feature never released here, “El camino de los ingleses.”)
And, of course, at the ripe age of 75, Dustin Hoffman makes his debut with "Quartet" (2013).
Did I overlook anyone?
