00:40:29,469 --> 00:40:31,763 At the time the whole water Watergate thing was happening 610 00:40:32,055 --> 00:40:35,725 and he hated Nixon, so he added a political angle. 611 00:40:37,018 --> 00:40:39,271 On the first Tuesday of November 612 00:40:39,563 --> 00:40:42,441 we have to make some vital decisions about our management. 613 00:40:43,525 --> 00:40:45,193 Let me go directly to the point. 614 00:40:45,777 --> 00:40:47,863 I'm for doing some replacement. 615 00:40:55,370 --> 00:40:56,830 For mom and daddy. 616 00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:58,122 Thank you. 617 00:41:09,509 -->

explode American myths and genres 640 00:42:17,410 --> 00:42:20,539 and I just wondered, what's your perception of American society? 641 00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:23,500 She thinks, she says am I exploding the myths 642 00:42:23,792 --> 00:42:29,089 and are taking shots at America and our culture. 643 00:42:29,589 --> 00:42:33,885 Uh, I, if that's the result of it that's what I, 644 00:42:34,177 --> 00:42:35,470 that's the result of it. 645 00:42:35,762 --> 00:42:41,393 But what I'm doing is simply reflecting what I see and feel. 646 00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:45,855 I live here, I was born here, I love this country, 647 00:42:46,147 --> 00:42:49,234 I love, uh, this is all I know, it's my culture. 648 00:42:50,485 --> 00:42:52,988 And, uh, I just try to show what I see. 649 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,781 If it's ugly, that's what I see. 650 00:42:59,244 --> 00:43:01,413 Altmanesque what does it mean? 651 00:43:05,292 --> 00:43:07,919 Creating a family. 652 00:43:15,343 --> 00:43:18,179 By the mid 70's Bob was riding his own wave. 653 00:43:18,471 --> 00:43:20,056 He had gathered so many talented people 654 00:43:20,348 --> 00:43:21,600 that he set up Lion's Gate, 655 00:43:21,891 --> 00:43:24,269 a studio that would produce independent films 656 00:43:24,561 --> 00:43:26,479 to keep the people he cared about working 657 00:43:26,771 --> 00:43:28,356 in between his own movies. 658 00:43:31,401 --> 00:43:33,653 The first director he worked with was Alan Rudolph. 659 00:43:34,195 --> 00:43:36,323 Alan started with Bob back as the second AD 660 00:43:36,615 --> 00:43:37,657 on "The Long Goodbye". 661 00:43:38,450 --> 00:43:41,077 He co-wrote Buffalo Bill and became a close friend. 662 00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:46,958 And Lions Gate produced his first film "Welcome to L.A.". 663 00:43:48,126 --> 00:43:50,337 Bob's only instructions to Alan were 664 00:43:50,629 --> 00:43:53,590 keep the budget low and don't make a chase movie. 665 00:43:59,346 --> 00:44:02,057 The way Bob did it, making films was always collaborative. 666 00:44:03,224 --> 00:44:05,226 His process was to bring his friends together 667 00:44:05,518 --> 00:44:06,853 and let the film evolve. 668 00:44:08,730 --> 00:44:10,774 He encouraged everyone to contribute, 669 00:44:11,066 --> 00:44:13,318 but for him the most important thing was the actors. 670 00:44:15,862 --> 00:44:20,200 I think the actors are the main artistic element 671 00:44:20,492 --> 00:44:22,035 in any film. 672 00:44:22,327 --> 00:44:23,495 They're more important than the script. 673 00:44:23,787 --> 00:44:25,705 They're more important than the photography. 674 00:44:25,997 --> 00:44:27,598 They're more important than the director 675 00:44:27,749 --> 00:44:29,292 because they're the ones that do it. 676 00:44:30,043 --> 00:44:33,630 So the more you can make them your collaborator 677 00:44:33,922 --> 00:44:35,674 then you're getting the best of all worlds. 678 00:44:45,767 --> 00:44:47,769 I encourage actors to feel comfortable 679 00:44:48,061 --> 00:44:50,480 and to know they can go further. 680 00:44:51,231 --> 00:44:54,609 They can step over the edge and I've got a safety net. 681 00:44:54,901 --> 00:44:57,237 I won't let them make a fool of themselves. 682 00:45:00,115 --> 00:45:04,994 I spent a lot of effort in trying to make a family 683 00:45:05,286 --> 00:45:08,289 so that the actors become a part of it. 684 00:45:14,963 --> 00:45:18,800 Everybody comes to the dailies, nobody's taking notes 685 00:45:19,092 --> 00:45:20,135 and there's booze 686 00:45:20,427 --> 00:45:23,430 and you find these actors start rooting for each other. 687 00:45:25,557 --> 00:45:27,183 Okay, let's go. 688 00:45:30,854 --> 00:45:32,313 Your beautiful wife Antoinette 689 00:45:32,605 --> 00:45:36,443 tells me that you are an art collector. 690 00:45:41,322 --> 00:45:43,408 You certainly don't look like an art collector. 691 00:45:44,701 --> 00:45:47,537 You know if you're walking down the street 692 00:45:47,829 --> 00:45:50,915 and somebody pointed you out and asked me what I thought you did 693 00:45:51,207 --> 00:45:52,333 and I didn't know you 694 00:45:52,625 --> 00:45:55,253 I would never in a million years guess art collector. 695 00:45:57,464 --> 00:46:00,091 You could go on what's my line and stump the panel. 696 00:46:22,030 --> 00:46:24,491 I remembered we'd have these big thanksgiving dinners 697 00:46:24,783 --> 00:46:27,535 and dad made it a lot of fun for all of us. 698 00:46:29,788 --> 00:46:30,872 But that and Christmas 699 00:46:31,164 --> 00:46:33,750 were the only times we'd be alone with him as a family. 700 00:46:34,042 --> 00:46:35,376 Kathryn was always there for us, 701 00:46:35,668 --> 00:46:37,337 but dad was always working. 702 00:46:38,171 --> 00:46:40,465 For the most part, we were not his priority. 703 00:46:40,757 --> 00:46:42,133 His movies were his priority. 704 00:46:43,510 --> 00:46:45,178 He loved us, but it was hard. 705 00:46:53,186 --> 00:46:54,813 I did five films at Fox. 706 00:46:55,772 --> 00:46:57,774 They were done almost like independent films. 707 00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:04,656 Alan Ladd was running the studio then and he was very supportive. 708 00:47:04,948 --> 00:47:09,661 He really stood up for me and I owe him a lot. 709 00:47:12,997 --> 00:47:15,667 Grace Kelly was involved in the studio. 710 00:47:16,459 --> 00:47:18,169 And they had a board meeting 711 00:47:18,461 --> 00:47:23,216 and she said how could you let this Altman person 712 00:47:23,508 --> 00:47:27,345 put my friend, Paul Newman, in such a dreadful film. 713 00:47:28,555 --> 00:47:31,307 And Ladd-y just said oh shut up, I quit. 714 00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:33,142 And he got up and walked out 715 00:47:33,434 --> 00:47:35,436 and that was the end of him over there. 716 00:47:40,525 --> 00:47:43,111 "Quintet" came out, which the critics hated. 717 00:47:43,486 --> 00:47:45,822 And a week later "A Perfect Couple" was released, 718 00:47:46,114 --> 00:47:47,657 which the critics hated even more. 719 00:47:48,533 --> 00:47:52,662 So he was having a pretty bad run at the box office 720 00:47:52,954 --> 00:47:54,122 and then came "health". 721 00:48:01,296 --> 00:48:03,006 I never stepped into one of these things; 722 00:48:03,298 --> 00:48:04,340 I hope there's a bottom. 723 00:48:04,632 --> 00:48:09,095 Mr. Altman, I thought I'd ask you a couple things 724 00:48:09,387 --> 00:48:10,763 about the making of this film. 725 00:48:11,055 --> 00:48:12,140 Uh the title is health... 726 00:48:12,432 --> 00:48:13,975 What? 727 00:48:14,267 --> 00:48:17,353 I said the title is, the title of the movie is health 728 00:48:17,645 --> 00:48:19,606 and I was gonna ask you 729 00:48:19,898 --> 00:48:22,567 if that's a particular pre-occupation of yours 730 00:48:22,859 --> 00:48:26,029 or just what they call a property you were interested in? 731 00:48:26,821 --> 00:48:29,157 No, I make lots of movies. 732 00:48:29,657 --> 00:48:33,661 Uh huh and the whole subject of health, of course, 733 00:48:33,953 --> 00:48:35,204 involves a certain amount of controversy 734 00:48:35,496 --> 00:48:38,166 because there are stories, exposes, 735 00:48:38,458 --> 00:48:40,877 and so on about the food additives. 736 00:48:41,169 --> 00:48:43,010 The sort of thing that where things advertised 737 00:48:43,171 --> 00:48:45,298 aren't what they claim to be and so on. 738 00:48:45,590 --> 00:48:46,674 Will that be a point 739 00:48:46,966 --> 00:48:49,886 that you'll be trying to take satiric thrusts at in the movie? 740 00:48:50,178 --> 00:48:51,930 Think you could talk about that a bit? 741 00:48:52,221 --> 00:48:54,223 Uh, well, we don't have a script yet. 742 00:48:57,810 --> 00:48:59,020 All right, action. 743 00:48:59,771 --> 00:49:01,898 ♪ I'm having a sugar fit ♪ 744 00:49:02,190 --> 00:49:04,025 ♪ Ooo ♪ 745 00:49:04,317 --> 00:49:05,902 By the time we completed health 746 00:49:06,194 --> 00:49:08,404 there was a different management at Fox, 747 00:49:08,696 --> 00:49:10,176 they believed it wouldn't make money. 748 00:49:11,491 --> 00:49:14,577 We got in a little argument, so the film was buried. 749 00:49:23,086 --> 00:49:24,545 Altmanesque? 750 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,218 Expect the unexpected. 751 00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,231 Robert Evans saw Annie on Broadway 752 00:49:43,523 --> 00:49:45,233 and he wanted to do the movie version, 753 00:49:45,525 --> 00:49:47,402 but he couldn't get the rights. 754 00:49:47,694 --> 00:49:50,014 He found out that Paramount owned "Popeye" the comic strip 755 00:49:50,238 --> 00:49:52,240 and he decided to make a big budget musical 756 00:49:52,532 --> 00:49:53,700 of "Popeye" instead. 757 00:49:57,745 --> 00:49:59,539 After a lot of directors turned it down, 758 00:49:59,831 --> 00:50:02,125 for some reason, Evans sent the script to Bob. 759 00:50:02,417 --> 00:50:04,168 I remember seeing the script on his desk 760 00:50:04,460 --> 00:50:06,337 and saying to him Popeye? 761 00:50:16,097 --> 00:50:18,725 It was Robin Williams' first movie 762 00:50:19,017 --> 00:50:21,519 and Bob convinced the studio to hire Shelley Duvall. 763 00:50:24,772 --> 00:50:28,985 And Paul Dooley, who was in six or seven of Bob's films. 764 00:50:29,277 --> 00:50:30,778 He found the Pickle Family Circus, 765 00:50:31,070 --> 00:50:32,572 who were all clowns and jugglers. 766 00:50:33,823 --> 00:50:36,325 And Sweet Pea was played by our grandson, Wesley. 767 00:50:36,617 --> 00:50:37,702 Christine's son. 768 00:50:41,289 --> 00:50:44,083 Wesley was born with kind of a crooked smile. 769 00:50:44,375 --> 00:50:46,711 One day, Dad noticed when Wesley smiled 770 00:50:47,003 --> 00:50:48,463 he looked a lot like Popeye. 771 00:50:48,755 --> 00:50:51,382 He said "See, this is where the pipe goes in." 772 00:50:51,674 --> 00:50:54,844 He was about 10 months old, he hadn't even learned to walk yet, 773 00:50:55,136 --> 00:50:57,430 and Bob had him cast as Sweetpea. 774 00:50:57,722 --> 00:51:00,892 It was just one of those magical moments in how he cast people. 775 00:51:02,685 --> 00:51:04,896 Okay, everybody, stand by. 776 00:51:05,438 --> 00:51:06,438 Action. 777 00:51:10,026 --> 00:51:11,986 The production spent millions building a village 778 00:51:12,278 --> 00:51:13,946 into a barren hillside 779 00:51:14,238 --> 00:51:18,326 and about 3 minutes into the film things started to go wrong. 780 00:51:29,712 --> 00:51:32,590 After losing 21 days of shooting to bad weather, 781 00:51:32,882 --> 00:51:34,717 going several million dollars over budget, 782 00:51:35,009 --> 00:51:37,970 and the studio threatening to pull the plug, 783 00:51:38,262 --> 00:51:41,015 Bob wasn't even sure he could finish the film. 784 00:51:46,270 --> 00:51:48,064 Tonight in Hollywood, Paramount and Disney 785 00:51:48,356 --> 00:51:51,818 unveil their highly anticipated Christmas Blockbuster "Popeye", 786 00:51:52,110 --> 00:51:53,694 and what a scene it was. 787 00:52:03,454 --> 00:52:05,414 Good morning and welcome to the critic's corner. 788 00:52:05,706 --> 00:52:06,706 For years "Popeye" 789 00:52:06,791 --> 00:52:08,417 has been one of my favorite comic strip characters. 790 00:52:08,709 --> 00:52:10,962 So, I and millions of others have been looking forward 791 00:52:11,254 --> 00:52:14,173 to the big Hollywood "Popeye" movie with joyous anticipation. 792 00:52:14,632 --> 00:52:16,467 The cast look perfect for the parts, 793 00:52:16,759 --> 00:52:18,594 the writer was the estimable Jules Feifier 794 00:52:18,886 --> 00:52:20,366 and the director was the imaginative, 795 00:52:20,638 --> 00:52:22,038 though inconsistent, Robert Altman. 796 00:52:22,098 --> 00:52:23,474 What could go wrong? 797 00:52:23,766 --> 00:52:25,101 Well just about everything. 798 00:52:25,393 --> 00:52:26,644 And the disappointing news this morning 799 00:52:26,936 --> 00:52:28,938 is that "Popeye" is a debacle 800 00:52:29,230 --> 00:52:30,940 with the characters left in ruins. 801 00:52:31,232 --> 00:52:34,026 First of all, Feifier fails. 802 00:52:34,318 --> 00:52:35,879 His script that shot is undistinguished 803 00:52:35,987 --> 00:52:37,697 and it is without humour, but above all, 804 00:52:37,989 --> 00:52:39,110 the culprit is Robert Altman 805 00:52:39,240 --> 00:52:41,200 whose direction and editing are ponderous, 806 00:52:41,492 --> 00:52:43,119 hesitant, and almost incoherent. 807 00:52:43,411 --> 00:52:44,411 The members of this cast, 808 00:52:44,662 --> 00:52:46,414 who almost seem born to play these rolls, 809 00:52:46,706 --> 00:52:48,958 have been subverted by their director. 810 00:52:49,250 --> 00:52:51,170 Paul Dooley who plays the hamburger loving Wimpy 811 00:52:51,294 --> 00:52:54,005 with such relish is giving nothing to do. 812 00:52:54,297 --> 00:52:54,839 I mean nothing. 813 00:52:55,131 --> 00:52:57,967 Zilch, zero, gornish, nada, zip. 814 00:52:58,259 --> 00:53:00,178 Robin Williams has the cartoon character down, 815 00:53:00,469 --> 00:53:02,305 but much of his dialogue is unintelligible 816 00:53:02,597 --> 00:53:05,516 and much of what is intelligible is incomprehensible. 817 00:53:05,808 --> 00:53:08,060 The songs by Harry Neilson are calamity. 818 00:53:08,352 --> 00:53:11,355 His music is tuneless and his lyrics are moronic. 819 00:53:11,647 --> 00:53:13,065 Shelley Duvall is just wonderful, 820 00:53:13,357 --> 00:53:14,942 thank goodness for Shelley Duvall. 821 00:53:15,234 --> 00:53:17,320 Just think of this, for years and years "Popeye" 822 00:53:17,612 --> 00:53:18,946 has been chugalugging spinach 823 00:53:19,238 --> 00:53:21,741 and when he finally gets something to go with the spinach 824 00:53:22,033 --> 00:53:23,743 it turns out to be a turkey. 825 00:53:25,703 --> 00:53:30,041 The critics trashed it and Bob took most of the blame. 826 00:53:30,333 --> 00:53:31,733 It was nowhere near the blockbuster 827 00:53:32,001 --> 00:53:35,630 the studios were hoping for. 828 00:53:42,220 --> 00:53:44,055 The films that they want to make now, 829 00:53:44,347 --> 00:53:46,933 the major companies, um, are not, 830 00:53:47,225 --> 00:53:48,935 they're films that I don't want to make. 831 00:53:49,227 --> 00:53:50,227 Also, I can't make. 832 00:53:50,394 --> 00:53:53,272 I can't make "Superman", and "Raiders of the Lost Arc" 833 00:53:53,564 --> 00:53:56,442 and, uh, and I don't want to. 834 00:53:57,151 --> 00:54:00,821 And the films I do want to make and feel that I can make, 835 00:54:01,113 --> 00:54:02,114 they don't want to make. 836 00:54:02,406 --> 00:54:04,242 They want movies now that will... 837 00:54:04,533 --> 00:54:07,245 there's a magic number that they use, a hundred million dollars. 838 00:54:08,704 --> 00:54:10,915 And, um, I just can't do that. 839 00:54:12,166 --> 00:54:14,126 It's just the time to split, that's all 840 00:54:14,418 --> 00:54:16,462 and by splitting I mean separate. 841 00:54:31,602 --> 00:54:35,690 It was pretty rough, the phone stopped ringing. 842 00:54:35,982 --> 00:54:37,692 I said well where should I cut back, 843 00:54:37,984 --> 00:54:39,151 or what should I do? 844 00:54:39,443 --> 00:54:40,443 We can sell the house. 845 00:54:40,695 --> 00:54:41,695 Move to New York. 846 00:54:43,197 --> 00:54:44,240 He was pretty down. 847 00:54:45,700 --> 00:54:47,368 He worried his luck had run out. 848 00:54:48,369 --> 00:54:50,538 You ever bet $10,000 on a football game? 849 00:54:50,830 --> 00:54:51,163 Oh yeah. 850 00:54:51,455 --> 00:54:51,872 You have? 851 00:54:52,164 --> 00:54:53,249 Mmhmm. 852 00:54:53,541 --> 00:54:54,541 Do you win much? 853 00:54:54,667 --> 00:54:57,253 I'm behind. 854 00:54:57,545 --> 00:55:00,423 This has not been, the last three years has not been good. 855 00:55:07,263 --> 00:55:09,098 What does Altmanesque mean? 856 00:55:09,390 --> 00:55:10,390 Uh... 857 00:55:10,433 --> 00:55:12,560 I would say it means never giving up. 858 00:55:20,151 --> 00:55:22,486 The fact that Bob couldn't get any movie deals 859 00:55:22,778 --> 00:55:23,446 didn't stop him. 860 00:55:23,738 --> 00:55:24,739 Pretty quickly he found something 861 00:55:25,031 --> 00:55:27,658 he really wanted to do, live theater. 862 00:55:31,245 --> 00:55:34,165 You know I still don't like being touched or held? 863 00:55:34,999 --> 00:55:37,418 When you extend your hand, when you really give, 864 00:55:37,710 --> 00:55:39,170 you lay your heart on the table 865 00:55:39,462 --> 00:55:41,005 and hand someone else the hammer. 866 00:55:43,215 --> 00:55:44,759 Now there might be some people 867 00:55:45,051 --> 00:55:47,762 who feel this is somewhat of a fall from grace for you 868 00:55:48,054 --> 00:55:50,181 after directing major films for so many years, 869 00:55:50,473 --> 00:55:52,433 to direct a couple of small plays. 870 00:55:52,725 --> 00:55:54,086 Not saying they're not good plays, 871 00:55:54,226 --> 00:55:56,312 but small plays in a small theater, 872 00:55:56,604 --> 00:55:58,314 off Broadway so to speak. 873 00:55:58,606 --> 00:56:00,691 Well I think it's a step up. 874 00:56:08,407 --> 00:56:10,117 I did four or five theater pieces. 875 00:56:10,409 --> 00:56:13,120 And when I'd do one I'd say oh, let's do another one. 876 00:56:13,412 --> 00:56:15,456 So, to me, that was a very important, 877 00:56:15,748 --> 00:56:18,125 big time, "I" time in my life. 878 00:56:18,417 --> 00:56:19,417 I was experimenting. 879 00:56:28,552 --> 00:56:31,430 I went to the University of Michigan. 880 00:56:31,722 --> 00:56:35,142 I had done an opera there a couple years before 881 00:56:35,434 --> 00:56:37,895 and I didn't have the money to produce a film, 882 00:56:38,187 --> 00:56:41,690 but I came up with a scheme of making it a course. 883 00:56:43,901 --> 00:56:45,569 And so all of the crew, 884 00:56:45,861 --> 00:56:47,988 except for a couple of us, were students 885 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,074 and they got a credit for doing this. 886 00:56:50,574 --> 00:56:53,702 Yeah, let's just take this, open it up from where he gets up 887 00:56:53,994 --> 00:56:56,497 and walks out of the frame on the set. 888 00:56:57,498 --> 00:56:59,583 Start on the monitors. 889 00:57:00,084 --> 00:57:05,089 Now, when he gets up to leave make

Robert Altman 1385 01:26:57,838 --> 01:27:00,257 has been nominated five times for an Oscar 1386 01:27:00,549 --> 01:27:01,967 without ever winning one. 1387 01:27:02,676 --> 01:27:05,179 Today, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 1388 01:27:05,471 --> 01:27:08,265 is giving Altman a lifetime achievement award 1389 01:27:08,557 --> 01:27:10,267 in recognition of a career 1390 01:27:10,559 --> 01:27:12,279 that has repeatedly reinvented the art form 1391 01:27:12,561 --> 01:27:15,022 and inspired filmmakers and audiences alike. 1392 01:27:45,761 --> 01:27:46,761 Thank you. 1393 01:27:48,055 --> 01:27:52,142 No other filmmaker has gotten a better shake than I have. 1394 01:27:52,434 --> 01:27:54,520 I'm very fortunate in my career. 1395 01:27:54,812 --> 01:27:58,023 I've never had to direct a film I didn't choose. 1396 01:27:58,315 --> 01:27:59,817 I love filmmaking. 1397 01:28:00,109 --> 01:28:03,570 It has given me an entree to the world and to the human condition 1398 01:28:03,862 --> 01:28:05,823 and for that I'm forever grateful. 1399 01:28:06,907 --> 01:28:09,743 Finally, I would like to thank my family, 1400 01:28:10,035 --> 01:28:11,203 which are all right there. 1401 01:28:11,495 --> 01:28:12,495 All of them. 1402 01:28:12,496 --> 01:28:14,415 For their love and support through the years 1403 01:28:14,707 --> 01:28:16,125 and most importantly 1404 01:28:16,417 --> 01:28:21,297 I want to thank and applaud my wife Kathryn Reed Altman, 1405 01:28:21,588 --> 01:28:24,300 without whom I wouldn't be here today. 1406 01:28:26,427 --> 01:28:27,803 I love you. 1407 01:28:29,631 --> 01:28:30,631 Thank you. 1408 01:28:30,639 --> 01:28:33,183 Oh, one more thing. 1409 01:28:34,018 --> 01:28:38,856 I'm here, I think, under false pretenses 1410 01:28:39,148 --> 01:28:44,403 and I think I have to become straight with you, 1411 01:28:44,695 --> 01:28:52,328 uh, ten years ago... 11 years ago I had a heart transplant. 1412 01:28:52,619 --> 01:28:54,330 A total heart transplant. 1413 01:28:54,621 --> 01:28:56,081 I got the heart of, I think, 1414 01:28:56,373 --> 01:29:00,544 a young woman who was about in her late 30's. 1415 01:29:01,128 --> 01:29:04,757 And so by that kind of calculation, 1416 01:29:05,049 --> 01:29:08,302 you may be giving me this award too early 1417 01:29:08,594 --> 01:29:12,514 because I think I got about 40 years left on it. 1418 01:29:13,682 --> 01:29:15,476 And I intend to use it. 1419 01:29:15,768 --> 01:29:17,144 Thank you very much. 1420 01:29:37,664 --> 01:29:39,666 He was in preproduction on a film called. 1421 01:29:39,958 --> 01:29:42,086 "Hands on a Hard Body", scouting locations. 1422 01:29:43,420 --> 01:29:45,881 He'd been diagnosed with cancer 1423 01:29:46,173 --> 01:29:48,050 and he wanted to keep on working. 1424 01:29:48,342 --> 01:29:49,635 Chemo or no chemo. 1425 01:29:52,429 --> 01:29:54,014 It would have been his 40th movie. 1426 01:30:01,897 --> 01:30:06,110 One day, years and years ago, just after the war, 1427 01:30:06,402 --> 01:30:08,862 Bob had nothing to do and he went to a theater 1428 01:30:09,154 --> 01:30:12,116 in the middle of the afternoon to see a movie. 1429 01:30:12,408 --> 01:30:14,785 Not a Hollywood movie, a British movie. 1430 01:30:32,970 --> 01:30:35,431 He said the main character was not glamorous. 1431 01:30:35,722 --> 01:30:37,891 Not a babe, and at first he wondered 1432 01:30:38,183 --> 01:30:39,685 why he was even watching it. 1433 01:30:56,535 --> 01:30:59,913 But twenty minutes later he was in tears 1434 01:31:00,205 --> 01:31:01,790 and had fallen in love with her. 1435 01:31:09,131 --> 01:31:12,885 And it made him feel that it wasn't just a movie. 1436 01:31:25,063 --> 01:31:27,774 ♪ Let's begin again ♪ 1437
