- Member of the 'Official Competition' jury at the 37th Venice International Film Festival in 1980.
- Film critic, the "Village Voice" and the "New York Observer".
- Film historian and author.
- He became, as he grew older, increasingly concerned with the humanist content of films over technical excellence, eventually coming to believe, for instance, that The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) is a better Orson Welles film than Citizen Kane (1941), and naming The Apartment (1960) as the best film of 1960 over Psycho (1960), which he had initially nominated in that category.
- Husband of fellow film critic Molly Haskell, each, at one time, the film critic at The Village Voice.
