Truly, I'm not in the least bit nostalgic, but it was a better time to be a fan in the 1970s and '80s. Ten movies opened every month, and usually one of them was good, and two were all right. But I'd see all ten. At the theater. That's what we did. Then I got to L.A. and saw all of the old movies in the theater. A 35mm print of anything is better than seeing it on TV.
I first got interested in William Wyler thanks to your recommendations in the Ask the Director section of your website...it has to be around 20 years ago now. It's out of print now, but I saw "Directed by William Wyler" on a Kino-Lorber DVD that included The Love Trap, and you're right, it's amazing to see Wyler and all those stars on screen talking about working for him. He was the best. I'm excited that "Carrie" is coming out on Blu-ray this year, and I just got a Blu-ray of "The Desperate Hours." It's a good time to be a fan.
