And of course,'' he says, ''I was a tremendous movie fan. I mean I got insane over 'Thunderhead,' which was the sequel to 'My Friend Flicka.' I mean, me and my two guys - my mom kept a box of pennies and I used to reach in there and take a handful and we went every day. That picture got me. I always loved movies.''

I had enough business acumen to understand that both the Godfather and the Sting will be huge.

Howards End is the brainy person's favourite picture of the year, so it's bound to win something. It's very well done, to the last second.

He is an indefatigable conversationalist; on one tangent he touches on the Magna Carta, terrorism, Fidel Castro, Thomas Jefferson, the death penalty, solar power, Enron, Nostradamus, Thornton Wilder and the movie Lethal Weapon. No topic is off limits

Spanning the years 1945 to 1955, a chronicle of the fictional Italian-American Corleone crime family.

I turned down the original Godfather because I thought it should’ve been played by an Italian. I both do and don’t regret that decision, but I know it was right. Al Pacino was the perfect actor for it and the picture’s better because of him.

As far as European movies are concerned, Monte Hellman educated me a lot. The only European films that were distributed out here were movies like Bitter Rice, Umberto D., Seven Samurai, Rififi at the Beverly Canon.

Merhols, and a guy named Freddie Engleberg who ran the Unicorn, one of L.A.’s first coffee houses, and another guy named John Fless, whom I haven’t heard much of since, formed one of the first film clubs.
