The film was Kramer 's last major success , and his subsequent films were not profitable , although many had mixed reviews . Among those films were '' The Secret of Santa Vittoria '' ( 1968 ) , '' R. P. M. '' ( 1970 ) , '' Bless the Beasts and Children '' ( 1971 ) , '' Oklahoma Crude '' ( 1973 ) , '' The Domino Principle '' ( 1977 ) , and '' The Runner Stumbles '' ( 1979 ) . '' Oklahoma Crude '' was entered into the 8th Moscow International Film Festival where Kramer won the Golden Prize for Direction . At the time of his retirement , he was attempting to bring a script entitled " Three Solitary Drinkers " to the screen , a film about a trio of alcoholics that he hoped would be played by Sidney Poitier , Jack Lemmon , and Walter Matthau
