American director Jules Dassin who directed the 1960’s hit movie “Never on Sunday” and six more of his films, died late Monday. He was 96. His other films included “Reunion in France,” a 1942 wartime romance with Joan Crawford and John Wayne; “Brute Force,” a 1947 prison drama starring Burt Lancaster; and the detective thriller “The Naked City” in 1948.   A truly exceptional director whose integrity cause him to live Hollywood during the notorious blacklisting era.
