26-1 Opening Night ACT I |
[00:00.35] |
A little further to the right, Tom. |
[00:02.11] |
Is this OK? |
[00:02.87] |
Good. What do you think, Richard? |
[00:04.98] |
I like it there. |
[00:06.48] |
It's the first thing people will see when they come in. |
[00:08.89] |
It sets the tone for the whole show. |
[00:11.53] |
The next thing they'll see is |
[00:12.52] |
this enlargement with the words Family Album, U.S.A. |
[00:17.00] |
I can't believe this is really happening! |
[00:19.01] |
You've earned it. |
[00:19.84] |
Years of work went into these pictures. |
[00:21.81] |
I know, but it's still a dream come true. |
[00:24.75] |
Well, remember, |
[00:26.38] |
we're not sure |
[00:26.84] |
what the critics are going to write about your show yet. |
[00:29.77] |
And you never know |
[00:30.66] |
what the man from the New York Times is going to say about it. |
[00:33.18] |
Are you worried? |
[00:34.50] |
I always worry. |
[00:35.90] |
The reviews of this show |
[00:37.13] |
are important for the sales of your book. |
[00:39.58] |
When do we see the reviews? |
[00:41.52] |
Soon. |
[00:42.49] |
One of the critics is coming over this morning for a preview. |
[00:45.30] |
I hope he's in a good mood. |
[00:47.19] |
So do I. |
[00:50.56] |
Marilyn and I hope to use money from the sales of this book |
[00:52.57] |
to buy a new house. |
[00:54.06] |
The book will be a success. |
[00:55.64] |
And the show will help promote it. |
[00:58.34] |
Speaking of promoting the book, , |
[01:01.18] |
do I really have to |
[01:02.65] |
autograph copies for the guests at the opening? |
[01:04.40] |
It's common practice. |
[01:06.60] |
I feel uncomfortable about it. |
[01:08.50] |
A lot of people come to openings |
[01:10.31] |
just so they can get |
[01:12.06] |
the autograph of somebody who may be famous someday. |
[01:14.15] |
Couldn't we wait until I'm famous? |
[01:16.14] |
That might be sooner than you think. |
[01:18.28] |
This one over here, Mr. Carlson? |
[01:21.02] |
A little further back, Tom. |
[01:22.69] |
It's too close to the refreshments. |
[01:24.19] |
No, I think this one belongs in the "people-at-work" section. |
[01:28.98] |
You may be right. |
[01:30.29] |
Try it there, Tom. |
[01:31.30] |
Right. |
[01:33.73] |
Nervous about the opening tonight? |
[01:34.94] |
Nervous? |
[01:35.36] |
Me? |
[01:35.87] |
No. I'm scared to death. |
[01:40.41] |
How about guests? |
[01:41.61] |
How many people will you be bringing? |
[01:43.11] |
Well, my family, I guess. |
[01:46.35] |
My wife Marilyn, my father and mother, |
[01:49.25] |
my brother Robbie, |
[01:50.41] |
my sister and her husband and their daughter. |
[01:53.09] |
And my grandfather. |
[01:54.61] |
Is that too many? |
[01:55.65] |
No such thing as "too many" at an opening. |
[01:59.34] |
I hope they like it. |
[02:01.59] |
Your family or the public? |
[02:03.94] |
Everybody. |
[02:05.13] |
But especially my family. |
[02:06.86] |
They've stood by me through all this. |
[02:08.98] |
I'm sure they'll like it. |
[02:11.21] |
Harvey, how are you? |
[02:12.98] |
Mitchell, so nice of you to come. |
[02:15.44] |
Richard, this is Mitchell Johnson. |
[02:17.39] |
Mitchell is |
[02:17.81] |
one of the most important syndicated reviewers in the country. |
[02:21.47] |
Well, you're the young man who did all this. |
[02:24.24] |
I'm afraid so. |
[02:25.61] |
Nice to meet you. |
[02:26.54] |
Nice to meet you, Mr. Johnson. |
[02:28.20] |
Mitchell has always encouraged new talent. |
[02:30.83] |
Well ... you mind if I look around |
[02:32.23] |
and see what it says to me? |
[02:34.19] |
Be our guest. |
[03:27.18] |
Mm-hmm, hmm, uh-huh. |
[03:30.66] |
Mm-hmm, hmm, uh-huh. |
[03:36.28] |
What does that mean when he goes, |
[03:38.28] |
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm"? |
[03:41.29] |
It probably means he's clearing his throat. |
[03:43.90] |
I don't know. |
[03:45.02] |
I don't care what the critics say, Mr. Stewart. |
[03:46.62] |
Your work is brilliant. |
[03:48.52] |
Thank you, Tom. |
[03:49.98] |
Tom is studying photography at NYU. |
[03:52.13] |
He's working with me during the summer months as an intern. |
[03:54.36] |
Oh, really? |
[03:55.28] |
I'd like to see your work. |
[03:56.42] |
It's not good enough to show. |
[03:57.53] |
I'm still learning. |
[03:58.38] |
Oh, I'd still like to see your work. |
[03:59.74] |
You may be the next Ansel Adams and not even know it. |
[04:01.15] |
If you really mean it, |
[04:03.25] |
I'll bring some of my pictures into the gallery. |
[04:04.70] |
I do mean it. |
[04:08.04] |
Very interesting pictures, Mr. Stewart. |
[04:09.84] |
You have a most unusual eye. |
[04:12.13] |
Thank you. |
[04:13.32] |
I hope that's a compliment. |
[04:14.46] |
It is. |
[04:15.76] |
Are you going to be reviewing the show, Mitchell? |
[04:17.42] |
Oh, yes. It's definitely worth reviewing. |
[04:20.41] |
Favorably? |
[04:21.75] |
Oh, you know I never answer that question, Harvey. |
[04:23.84] |
I'd like an advance copy of the book, though, |
[04:25.75] |
so I can study it. |
[04:27.50] |
I have an autographed one in my office. |
[04:29.80] |
Tom, would you give Mr. Johnson Tom, |
[04:34.40] |
the copy of Richard's book on my desk? |
[04:34.98] |
Just follow me, Mr. Johnson. |
[04:38.91] |
Sure. |
[04:40.32] |
Do you think he liked my photographs? |
[04:42.35] |
We'll know when tonight's papers come out. |
[04:45.54] |
Keep your fingers crossed. |
