Sam's other directorial accomplishments -- twice working with Jimmy Stewart ... once early in the actor's career for NAVY BLUE AND GOLD (the film that made Frank Capra sit up and take notice of Jim) and Sam's final film in THE STRATTON STORY.
Poor Sam also had to put up with the Brothers Marx shenanigans in A NIGHT AT THE OPERA.
In exasperation after several attempts to have Groucho read one of his lines in the manner the director had requested, Wood exclaimed, "I guess you just can't make an actor out of clay." Marx instantly responded, "Nor a director out of Wood."
