he directed the film seconds, one of my fav films of all time.
my introduction to him, and the best thing he did.
This interview was conducted two years before he made the epic thriller 'Black Sunday' with Bruce Dern and Robert Shaw. Truly one of the great filmmakers of the 60's and 70's.
Love how he recognized Fredric March, it's clear he admires and respects him. I just recently started watching his movies. RiP March and Frankenheimer.
A prodigious director! Ronin, Seven Days in May, Manchurian Candidate, French Connection, The Train, Seconds, to name a few.
Great movie maker
iconic.
Funny recollections of trying to make a movie in Mexico.
“We really tried to get that movie released on TWA.”
Very funny line.
And I agree with him regarding Kirk Douglas’s performance in “Seven Days in May.”
I also think he was superb.
The theme music for this show, with its clanging guitar and horns, reminds me of the opening and closing themes for the sixties British TV show “The Prisoner.”
Frankenheimer speaking of Kirk... he delivers my favorite line in the film. Lancaster asks him if he knows Judas. He replies, " Yes, sir, I know who Judas was. He was a man I worked for and admired until he disgraced the four stars on his uniform. " Wow! Script by Rod Serling.

Frankenheimer originally wanted Lawrence Olivier for the role of Arthur Hamilton. To Rock Hudson's credit he does a splendid job in displaying the wearyness and spiritual emptiness of Arthur in his new life as Tony Wilson. His scenes with his former wife played by France's Reid are particularly outstanding in showing how Arthur had wasted opportunities in his life to find true happiness. Also, John Randolph who played Hamilton prior to his transformation is wonderful in conveying the man's disillusionment and sadness.
I came to YT to find out more about Frankenheimer after watching a blu-ray of Seconds I bought blind. I loved it. I was unprepared for how unsettling it is. The Bass credits are great too. For me the bedroom scene with Randolph and his wife (played by Frances Reid) is profoundly moving. They have one last chance to connect, but are unable or too tired to do so. One of the finest scenes of its kind and done with no dialogue. And I agree the other great scene is the one with Reid and Hudson. And that ending!
"Seconds"changed my life.I'll look for the blu-ray.
Directed "Ronin" with De Niro and Jean Reno. One of the best thriller/action films ever made.
His discussion of the location shooting of “The Extraordinary Seaman” is a riot.
It's a shame the host keeps mentioning French Connection 2 since it was the directors latest, but they never discuss the film or him working with Gene Hackman.
It’s like as if he deliberately avoided talking about it even though he was right there to promote it. You have to admire his courage to admit The extraordinary seaman was a poor movie 🎥.
