Day at Night: Otto Preminger, film director

[@65g4]

This is very interesting interview ive been recently studying Premingers films watching Exodus Man With The Golden Arm and Anatomy Of A Murder and i love his films and i plan to watch many more

[@alexdavies7394]

Otto Preminger was quoted in a biography, stating that being nice and patient toward actors takes much longer to achieve results. I think that says a lot about him.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Oh yeah. He was generally loathed by the actors that worked with him.

[@JoaoFurtadoCoelho777]

I greatly admire many of Preminger's films I thank you very much for this upload. Shared on Google+

[@TheTamblina]

v interesting interview...Preminger was a v original, creative, stern director...thank you for uploading :o)

[@ricardobigi5476]

This 1973 interview is interesting but I wish the interviewer had allowed more time to discuss Otto Preminger's individual films, his collaborators, actors, and special memories related to his work on stage and on film. A 60-minute format would have been ideal. Such a great director, OP certainly had many things to say about his brilliant career. It would have been wonderful to listen to him as he remembered them.

Wonderful director, and my favorite Mr. Freeze on Batman

[@Cherchezlatrish]

It's crazy to me that such beauties as Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Dandridge fell for such unattractive guys and get their heart broken by them! Smh

[@aads1823]

I am pretty and have dated unconventially looking guys.. but their personality attracted me to them and they were confident guys

[@PrinzMidas]

@@aads1823 I look very unconventially! ;-D

[@PrinzMidas]

It was always all about money and fame!

Unfortunately there’s a new type of censorship in play in our American society. One prime example is the edited version of “The French Connection” that airs on the Turner Classic Movies station. Whenever that great movie airs on TCM a key piece of dialogue early in the action between Popeye Doyle (Gene Hackman) and his partner played by Roy Scheider is butchered. The reason? Because the dreaded n-word is uttered by Hackman’s character. It’s one of the best exchanges between the two men in the movie, but it’s been cut out by the fools who think we shouldn’t be allowed to hear it. It shows you how little respect they had for director William Friedkin.

Otto made Laura (his directorial debut, under nefarious means), Fallen Angel, Forever Amber, The Cardinal, The Man with the Golden Arm. He was not a nice guy, but he did not care! "The World and it's Double" is One great bio. Read it. Soon.

[@ambskater97]

Die Grose Liebe was his debut as a director, actually.

[@vegetasolo1221]

Is this the guy responsible for Dorothy Dandridge downfall???

[@creamcheese1048]

he didn't help her.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

No adult is responsible for the "downfall" of another adult.

[@drealynne4256]

[@ricardocantoral7672]

[@craigsavarese8631]

Oberst Von Scherbach.

[@MrJobsworth1979]

Heard he was a prick to work for . What I read ,he sounds similar to J.K Simmon's character in Whiplash

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Yeah, he was a bully. Nobody liked working with him.

[@kingamoeboid3887]

At least you can tell he made it as good as possible. Unlike John Derek.

[@MartinSage]

Am I the only one that laughed at Otto's hypocritical statements? One moment he condems those who edits/cuts his films that they have purchased rights to and in the next moment Otto defends his right to do the same editing to books he has bought the rights to. I think one can do what one wants IF a contract does NOT forbide such. If the owner of a creative work wants his work to remain intaked he must state so in the sales contract.

[@TwistVisuals]

But the book still exists. People can go read the books if they want to after watching the movie

[@supagoon8]

Martin Sage distributing a film is different from interpreting a book...

[@ricardocantoral7672]

It's not hypocritical. What's ideal for a book may not be right for a film and vice versa.

[@Barbapippo]

The interviewer is not that smart, is he

[@alexdavies1662]

Not a nice man to work for by any means.

[@kenise42]
