Video interview: Richard Brooks

A nifty catch with today’s video interview: From the French TV series “Cinema cinemas”, September, 1985 featuring screenwriter and director Richard Brooks. Brooks wrote Key Largo (1948), then wrote and directed The Last Time I Saw Paris (1954), Blackboard Jungle (1955), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), Elmer Gantry (1960), Sweet Bird of Youth (1962), In Cold Blood (1967), and Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977) among others notable movies.

The show is in French, but the interview questions and answers are in English.
