| [00:00.01] | 26-1 Opening Night ACT I |
| [00:00.35] | A little further to the right, Tom. |
| [00:02.11] | Is this OK? |
| [00:02.87] | Good. What do you think, Richard? |
| [00:04.98] | I like it there. |
| [00:06.48] | It's the first thing people will see when they come in. |
| [00:08.89] | It sets the tone for the whole show. |
| [00:11.53] | The next thing they'll see is |
| [00:12.52] | this enlargement with the words Family Album, U.S.A. |
| [00:17.00] | I can't believe this is really happening! |
| [00:19.01] | You've earned it. |
| [00:19.84] | Years of work went into these pictures. |
| [00:21.81] | I know, but it's still a dream come true. |
| [00:24.75] | Well, remember, |
| [00:26.38] | we're not sure |
| [00:26.84] | what the critics are going to write about your show yet. |
| [00:29.77] | And you never know |
| [00:30.66] | what the man from the New York Times is going to say about it. |
| [00:33.18] | Are you worried? |
| [00:34.50] | I always worry. |
| [00:35.90] | The reviews of this show |
| [00:37.13] | are important for the sales of your book. |
| [00:39.58] | When do we see the reviews? |
| [00:41.52] | Soon. |
| [00:42.49] | One of the critics is coming over this morning for a preview. |
| [00:45.30] | I hope he's in a good mood. |
| [00:47.19] | So do I. |
| [00:50.56] | Marilyn and I hope to use money from the sales of this book |
| [00:52.57] | to buy a new house. |
| [00:54.06] | The book will be a success. |
| [00:55.64] | And the show will help promote it. |
| [00:58.34] | Speaking of promoting the book, , |
| [01:01.18] | do I really have to |
| [01:02.65] | autograph copies for the guests at the opening? |
| [01:04.40] | It's common practice. |
| [01:06.60] | I feel uncomfortable about it. |
| [01:08.50] | A lot of people come to openings |
| [01:10.31] | just so they can get |
| [01:12.06] | the autograph of somebody who may be famous someday. |
| [01:14.15] | Couldn't we wait until I'm famous? |
| [01:16.14] | That might be sooner than you think. |
| [01:18.28] | This one over here, Mr. Carlson? |
| [01:21.02] | A little further back, Tom. |
| [01:22.69] | It's too close to the refreshments. |
| [01:24.19] | No, I think this one belongs in the "people-at-work" section. |
| [01:28.98] | You may be right. |
| [01:30.29] | Try it there, Tom. |
| [01:31.30] | Right. |
| [01:33.73] | Nervous about the opening tonight? |
| [01:34.94] | Nervous? |
| [01:35.36] | Me? |
| [01:35.87] | No. I'm scared to death. |
| [01:40.41] | How about guests? |
| [01:41.61] | How many people will you be bringing? |
| [01:43.11] | Well, my family, I guess. |
| [01:46.35] | My wife Marilyn, my father and mother, |
| [01:49.25] | my brother Robbie, |
| [01:50.41] | my sister and her husband and their daughter. |
| [01:53.09] | And my grandfather. |
| [01:54.61] | Is that too many? |
| [01:55.65] | No such thing as "too many" at an opening. |
| [01:59.34] | I hope they like it. |
| [02:01.59] | Your family or the public? |
| [02:03.94] | Everybody. |
| [02:05.13] | But especially my family. |
| [02:06.86] | They've stood by me through all this. |
| [02:08.98] | I'm sure they'll like it. |
| [02:11.21] | Harvey, how are you? |
| [02:12.98] | Mitchell, so nice of you to come. |
| [02:15.44] | Richard, this is Mitchell Johnson. |
| [02:17.39] | Mitchell is |
| [02:17.81] | one of the most important syndicated reviewers in the country. |
| [02:21.47] | Well, you're the young man who did all this. |
| [02:24.24] | I'm afraid so. |
| [02:25.61] | Nice to meet you. |
| [02:26.54] | Nice to meet you, Mr. Johnson. |
| [02:28.20] | Mitchell has always encouraged new talent. |
| [02:30.83] | Well ... you mind if I look around |
| [02:32.23] | and see what it says to me? |
| [02:34.19] | Be our guest. |
| [03:27.18] | Mm-hmm, hmm, uh-huh. |
| [03:30.66] | Mm-hmm, hmm, uh-huh. |
| [03:36.28] | What does that mean when he goes, |
| [03:38.28] | "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm"? |
| [03:41.29] | It probably means he's clearing his throat. |
| [03:43.90] | I don't know. |
| [03:45.02] | I don't care what the critics say, Mr. Stewart. |
| [03:46.62] | Your work is brilliant. |
| [03:48.52] | Thank you, Tom. |
| [03:49.98] | Tom is studying photography at NYU. |
| [03:52.13] | He's working with me during the summer months as an intern. |
| [03:54.36] | Oh, really? |
| [03:55.28] | I'd like to see your work. |
| [03:56.42] | It's not good enough to show. |
| [03:57.53] | I'm still learning. |
| [03:58.38] | Oh, I'd still like to see your work. |
| [03:59.74] | You may be the next Ansel Adams and not even know it. |
| [04:01.15] | If you really mean it, |
| [04:03.25] | I'll bring some of my pictures into the gallery. |
| [04:04.70] | I do mean it. |
| [04:08.04] | Very interesting pictures, Mr. Stewart. |
| [04:09.84] | You have a most unusual eye. |
| [04:12.13] | Thank you. |
| [04:13.32] | I hope that's a compliment. |
| [04:14.46] | It is. |
| [04:15.76] | Are you going to be reviewing the show, Mitchell? |
| [04:17.42] | Oh, yes. It's definitely worth reviewing. |
| [04:20.41] | Favorably? |
| [04:21.75] | Oh, you know I never answer that question, Harvey. |
| [04:23.84] | I'd like an advance copy of the book, though, |
| [04:25.75] | so I can study it. |
| [04:27.50] | I have an autographed one in my office. |
| [04:29.80] | Tom, would you give Mr. Johnson Tom, |
| [04:34.40] | the copy of Richard's book on my desk? |
| [04:34.98] | Just follow me, Mr. Johnson. |
| [04:38.91] | Sure. |
| [04:40.32] | Do you think he liked my photographs? |
| [04:42.35] | We'll know when tonight's papers come out. |
| [04:45.54] | Keep your fingers crossed. |
