    Which Academy Award winning actor's only motion picture credit as producer is for a film currently in the top 60 on the IMDB ranking of all-time top films?

    Question #120495. Asked by Datsmeharse. (Feb 27 11 1:53 PM)

    		Would it be Michael Douglas and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

    Listed as Number 48.

    		While researching another question, came across this:

    Michael Douglas (1988, Wall Street) and Laurence Olivier (1949, Hamlet) are the only two actors to win the Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Picture (Douglas as a producer of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1976, and Olivier as producer of Hamlet).

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Actor

    And since Hamlet isn't in the top 60 list, seems that Michael Douglas is a good answer to the question if hadn't stated that it was his ONLY motion picture credit as producer. While it is his only one to win Best Picture, he has produced 17 other films.

    		Lol people. Henry Fonda is correct, good job Skypilot024.
    Stewart's film that he produced is not in the IMDB top 250, Bergman's film is not in the IMDB top 250, Bogart's film that he didn't get credit for is not in the IMDB top 250, Mel Gibson produced more than one film and has not won an acting award.
