“The cities of Italy are now deluged with droves of these creatures [tour groups], for they never separate, and you see them, forty in number, pouring along a street with their director - now in front, now at the rear, circling them like a sheep dog - and really the process is as like herding as may be.” MayProcessNumbersCitiesGroupsStreetsDogFrontsDirectorsCreaturesFortySheepPouring Author:Daniel J.

After that, I made some additional cuts and now we are where we are.” WayFirstsMadeStoriesWantedHoursCuttingMinutesDirectorsAddSevenStudiosFortyOne Minute Author:Kim Jee-woon
“Here is how I work: when I think that a film needs to have a principal theme, I search for a melody. I have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly. So I write melodies-thirty, forty, fifty-then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide. That happened one time with Jacques Demy for the duo of the twins [in Les demoiselles de Rochefort]: I went to his house in Noirmoutier to play 35 possible themes for him.” IfsThinkingNeedsWritingTwoPlayFilmThreeAsksHouseHappenedStrangeNeededDirectorsCastsThirtyThemeFiftyFortyMelodyOne TimeTwinsPrincipalDuos Author:Michel Legrand
“I think the whole nostalgia for the forty year gap for [Sylvester] Stallone was bigger than the movie [Creed], but it's good because the movie still gets recognized with Stallone's involvement. I'm sure the director [Ryan Coogler] is still proud of his film, but it's very hard to nominate a director.” ThinkingYearsStillsHardWholeFilmProudDirectorsBiggerNostalgiaFortyGapsCreedsInvolvement Author:Bun B
