Margot Kidder on Steven Spielberg: “I think he dropped a year off his age. Lazlo Kovacs talks about the making of Shampoo, and the control that star Warren Beatty had over the film which was directed by Hal Ashby.Ĭharles Mulvehill: “I don’t think was in charge on that particular film.”
“It was an age of excess.” They were basically all out of their heads on drugs. Polly Platt talks about what happened to the new directors, as the flops mounted up. He was the last of a breed.”Įllen Burstyn, hot from The Exorcist, personally chose Martin Scorsese to direct her next picture, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Any More. Rudy Wurlitzer, also on Peckinpah: “He was a total outlaw. Kris Kristofferson on Sam Peckinpah: “Sam’s like this dog that you love, but he’s always doing something that embarrasses you.” Jennifer Salt: “Huey Newton would be at our parties.” Is it weird that the only thing I know Jennifer Salt from is Soap? I am very lowbrow. Henry Jaglom talks about producer Burt Schneider, who during this time moved more into political and social issues, like the Black Panthers, rather than filmmaking. Stanley Jaffe talks about the impact of ‘The Director’s Company’ (Friedkin, Coppola, Bogdanovich) on the producer/director dynamic.
It goes chronologically, and because I missed a lot fo the start, this recording starts post-Godfather, post-Mean Streets, Post-Last Picture Show, with The Exorcist – and I notice that while my recording has Tubular Bells, the Amazon Prime version has no music at the same point, a victim of the different licensing agreements between TV programmes for broadcast, and for sale outside broadcast. It tells the story of the new generation of filmmakers that arose at a time when the old Hollywood studio system was in decline, and independent cinema was on the rise. It’s Easy Riders Raging Bulls, a documentary based on Peter Biskind’s book of the same title (which I also read at the time, and enjoyed). The next recording starts with a brief snatch of Top of the Pops, with Dermot O’Leary, but since this was late at night, I’m assuming this was I Love 1992 which I jolly well should have been recording.īut it switches to BBC Four, and the next recording is similarly missing the start – in fact it’s missing about 70 minutes, which would be really annoying except that it’s on Amazon Prime, so I can at least watch all of it. For completeness, Here’s all the questions, including all the easy ones just for fun.Īnd here’s the whole episode (including the Fastest Finger First bit that my recording misses). I looked at the documentary on the cheating scandal a while back, I’ve missed the beginning so it’s straight into the first question.
They’ve subtitled it An Officer and a Gentleman?. First on today’s disc, something of a repeat, as it’s the edition of Who Wants to be a Millionaire featuring Major Charles Ingram.
