    Since there are DVDs and Blu Rays the Qaulity of the Movies, even the old ones, are much better now.

    It was in 2001, when I had the good fortune of finding this Live Achievement in Los Angeles after a long research, people of the AFI and also a few of them who actually were that night.
    After four long trips to California (from Buenos Aires) along the years and even meeting a formidable person in DC. as Catherine Wyler, talking about making another film documentary about her father, with a long research, my own footage in Mulhouse, where he was born and in Glendale where he rests, research at the Margaret Herrick Libray in every trip, and everywhere, besides film clips of his movies in first quality now, and a deep study about Wyler as human being and extraordinary filmmaker, I chose Academy Award®winner Eugenio Zanetti to narrate my own script in English, which I also produced, directed and made the editing, like in this 3' minute long trailer, which I hopefully wait you like,
    as I said to Mr. George Stevens Jr. after our emails months ago, after being a long admirer of his persona and career for the Arts and also after being a student about his father as well.
    They were more than 20 years in the making. I remember Mr. Carl Reiner asking me at the Directors Guild in Sunset, during the Stanley Kramer Tribute:
    'Yes, I believe you! But tell me how?'
    Sadly, my footage about the AFI Live Achievement was exclusive until January this year.
    But there is more about William Wyler in my film fortunately.
    I do hope to show it some day in US, and going back to do it; my 84 minute-long film about:
    William Wyler: 'The legendary starmaker'.
    This is the trailer.
    Thank you very much.

    It may be apocryphal, but... Story is somebody was complaining to Willie about Barbra's behavior. Willie defended her: "Well, she never directed a picture before."

    Why wasn't Bette Davis there?

    • @wotan10950
      @wotan10950 4 місяці тому +2

      They had a very intense relationship, some said a romantic liaison. She said she couldn’t face being there to honor him. However, when Davis was honored later by the AFI, Wyler attended and spoke about working together.

      Exactly! That's why I was surprised she wasn't among those who honored him that night

      I have been waiting to see this since I first watched it in 1976.
      It was never released on video until now because of some technical difficulties with the program.

      @@wotan10950there must be more to the story than that. Their affair happened 35 years before this ceremony. Davis was honored the following year and Wyler was in attendance.

      That's the real Bette Davis, a selfish arrogant overrated person who used to call herself an actress. Never has liked her, r.i.p.
