In this episode Roger and Julie discuss their memories of their long careers in film. They first talk about the chance meeting on the set of "Von Richthofen and Brown" in 1970 and things just progressed from there.
Roger then talks about "The Terror" and how a hodgepodge of a film became something of a legend in Hollywood and how the film had at least 6 directors. Julie then discusses her film "Lady In Red" and how she really liked it and how the performances were spot on.
Next up they remember how a lot of young people who just wanted a chance in the film business were hired by Roger for "New World Pictures" and how that one company launched many, many careers in Hollywood. They also tell how New World was a fun place to work and one of the most creative small studios in the world at the time.
Julie then tells of Roger and his releasing of Art Films from around the world and how she is still amazed that he managed to get Fellini's "Cries And Whispers" to play on a second bill with "Crazy Mama".
Corman fondly remembers shooting "Atlas" in Greece and not having enough people or money, but he managed to get the film done and it did make money, but it is not one of his favorites.
Lastly they talk about their favorite films and both Roger and Julie admit that Roger's film "The Intruder" is his best film because it's the most heartfelt one he ever made.
If you want you can view all of these on Shout TV and I cannot see any Corman fan passing this up. Simply a wonderful 13 episode program.
