Part 1
This footage is taken from a USC class called the Theatrical Film Symposium that has been going on since the 1950’s. Each week Arthur Knight would invite the top directors and professionals from Hollywood’s past and present to sit in and tell students their stories. This particular class with King Vidor was probably attended by both John carpenter and Dan O’Bannon who would have been attending USC at the time. The class continues to this day with the modern day equivalent to Mr. Knight, Leonard Maltin as the professor/moderator.
