MUCH credit must go to Ben Mankiewicz for being such a superb host, giving the talk such electrifying energy, responding with such humorous attentiveness, and never interrupting Bogdanovich's storytelling. Ben does after all hail from a legendary family, so it's no surprise he chats as an equal!

Peter's vocalizations of Orson Welles, Hitchcock, John Huston, etc., are absolutely spot-on! It's as if they were suddenly present at the interview. His passion for and absolute devotion to the art of motion pictures is plain for anyone to see!

What a tremendous raconteur! Rest in Peace, Mr. Bogdanovich, you are a national treasure.

What Bogdanovich says here about the magic of film (in his excellent Jimmy Stewart voice)--that, when it works, you are "giving people little tiny pieces of time that they never forget"--can stand as a pretty good description of what he give us in these reminiscences too. What a delight.

I can listen to Bogdanovich for hours. I think he's fascinating.

Ben Mankiewicz is such a professional.

I was walking home one Friday evening in Santa Monica - traffic lights- 6th and Arizona, no nobody around and waiting to cross and a guy across the streets waiting to come my way and in a split second I sussed it was Peter and I said hello and said I had loved his book on Directors years before!

Bogdanovich is a masterful story teller re-telling stories told by masters. And what a great interviewer Ben Mankiewicz has become... he says the minimum. Just enough to keep the interview going along, seemingly effortlessly.

I've been impressed by Peter B. since. I was 13 or 14. My friends and I loved his early movies. I never changed my mind, I always thought he was one of the best film directors of my lifetime. He was forgotten for a while, glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

Super impressed that Peter met Cagney in 1972 . Wish he could have coaxed the great star out of retirement. Milos Forman did in 1981, but Cagney's physical health had rapidly declined by then. Bogdanovich's books & documentaries are to be cherished. Last Picture Show is a beautifully funny/sad masterpiece that gets better with time...Hawks or Renoir could not have improved that screenplay.

Bogdanovich embodies the love of film to me. Everyone will talk about The Last Picture Show, but I think of his comments on River Phoenix in The Thing Called Love. He called River his friend. And then there is his small but very important role in the Sopranos. And I am just scratching the surface here.

I personally like Nickelodeon. He got amazing work from Burt Reynolds on that one.

First reason I wanted to watch it was : Peter made such great impressions of celebrities (his Hitchcock always cracks me uo). But as I was watching, I realized how genuinely knowledgeable he was on the movie business. I didn't have an inkling of how many celebrities he knew personally. His age took a long time to show up so when he was telling stories about Hitchcock from the early 60s, je seemed lije he would have been too young to have known John Ford, Howard Hawkes and Jim Cagney personally, but he did. A surprisingly endearing, fascinating man. My strongest rscomnendations to that piece of cinema history.

I read everything Bogdanovich wrote in Esquire as they were published and he really shaped my enjoyment of movies. I should say that I also read Kael and their conflict over Kane is instructive. Nobody talks much about Pauline Kael but I think Bogdanovich will continue to be influential. RIP Sir.

@@caroldemartino3032 Carol, I agree with you about most celebrity interviews. The people doing the interviewing are usually ill-prepared (Larry King was notorious for this) and the people being interviewed have little of value to say. It doesn't seem to matter who they are: politicians, artists, directors, writers, actors. They all bore me. I used to like to listen to Gore Vidal but he got old and died. But he was a witty interviewee. Bogdanovich is still good but he's fading. I liked Dick Cavett's interview of Katherine Hepburn. But that was almost 50 years ago. There's no one really fascinating around now. Our culture is poor and bland and grey. And young kids are fed shit like Marvel Universe movies, so unreal; video games as cinema. Their brain cells atrophy watching the screen. How could such a culture produce anyone interesting? As crazy as he was, J.D. Salinger was probably right in turning his back on the whole thing and never giving an interview.

I'm sorry, but who edited this, and have they been fired? It's a wonderful interview, Bogdanovich is a brilliant storyteller and God knows he's seen plenty to tell brilliant stories about. At least twice during the course of the interview, though, it's as if someone randomly chopped several minutes out with a meat cleaver, leaving in the tail-end of stories that now make no sense, Why would you do that? If it had to be edited for length, fine, but that could have done withing hacking up stories, surely.
