I hope you don't mind such a complete rewrite; it just happens that I was reading on this subject recently.
Add anything that's missing, but please keep the first sentence, which is from your original--it is THE best brief statement of the auteur position that I've ever seen.
I don't mind at all; I didn't write the original but merely moved it from Auteur Theory Film. I didn't know anything about Auteur theory one way or the other, as film theory tends to bore me. And I do think the article is much better as it is, apologies to the original author....
