The Bull Roarer
Filmed July 1963 I think that was a historic moment in television. I am 99 and 44/100 percent sure that was the first time the word “homosexual” was uttered in a drama in an American television show. And it happened … Continue reading

Age Of Consent
Filmed July 1963 In April, 1963 during my preparation period for COLOR SCHEMES LIKE NEVER BEFORE on NAKED CITY, one of my agents in the New York office took me to meet David Susskind. He had a new series going … Continue reading

Color Schemes Like Never Before
Filmed April 1963 The irony of the situation didn’t escape me. I was well aware that a mere two months earlier the thought of turning down a directing assignment would have seemed total insanity. But there I was, doing exactly … Continue reading

Narcissus On An Old Red Fire Engine
Filmed March 1963 The producers of ROUTE 66 had a unique procedure in laying out their schedule. As I understood it, they would select a state to film a group of episodes — say eight or ten. They would select … Continue reading

No Naked Ladies In Front Of Giovanni’s House
Filmed March 1963 After wrapping ALIVE AND STILL A SECOND LIEUTENANT I flew back to the west coast, where I had just a couple of days to unpack, do laundry, pick up my next script (a COMPLETE one again), repack … Continue reading
