Stardust Memories Page #2

Synopsis: Renowned filmmaker Sandy Bates is in a professional transition, directing largely comedies early in his career now wanting to direct more serious movies so that he can explore the meaning of life, most specifically his own. Most are fighting him all along the way, including the movie going public, who continually tell him that they love his movies especially the earlier funny ones, to studio executives who are trying to insert comic elements wherever possible into his current movie in production. He reluctantly agrees to attend a weekend long film festival of his movies. Despite the throng of requests for his time, he is further able to reflect on his life as he addresses the questions at the post screening Q&A sessions. He also reflects specifically on his love life as his current girlfriend, married Isobel, shows up unexpectedly, and as he starts to fall for festival attendee Daisy - at the festival with her Columbia professor boyfriend, Jack Abel - who reminds him of Dorrie, a neuro

I could do my mothers recipe for

Filet de boeuf fourr Prigourdine.

I could do sweet potato rum casserole.

Yeah? No beverage?

I think they've been putting

something wonderful in your lithium.

I've stopped taking the lithium.

Oh, Jesus, you're kidding!

Dorrie, that's not a good idea.

You know, you can't just

go on and off it like that.

I don't think it does much good.

You're wrong, ccause I notice a difference.

You know, you can't...

It's a pain to keep

getting my blood checked.

- I'm sure it is.

- I feel heavy, and...

But, you know, it's better for you.

You know, it's not a good

thing to just go... Really.

You are the best kisser.

That was my major in college.

Mr. Bates! Mr. Bates, come here at once!

- Please, Mr. Bates, the stoves on fire!

- What's the matter with you?

- Put it out! Put it out!

- Will you stop being so hysterical?

Every night it's a fire.

You don't know how to work the stove yet?

- I worked it perfectly.

- For Gods sake.

You do nothing but start fires here.

- I did just what you...

- Here. Be careful.

Jesus. It's a simple stove!

And every night you set

the apartment on fire!

- Maybe it's defective.

- All right, relax. And no rabbit.

How many times have I told you? No rabbit.

I thought you only meant just that one time.

No. Never. Never! I never

want rabbit. I don't eat rodent.

- I understand now.

- You understand that?

It's fur bearing. Never rabbit.

You never want rabbit. Now that's clear.

Everybody is just ecstatic

that you're here this weekend.

The turnout is tremendous.

And, you know, these film culture

weekends are just absolutely fantastic.

They are getting so popular.

Do you know you're gonna love

our screening facilities?

When I had my Orson Welles weekend

here, you know what he told me?

He said that I had the best sound

and projection system hed ever seen,

bar none. Believe it or

not, he did. That's what he...

This is Mr. Payson, our chairman,

and Mrs. Payson. They adore you.

We love your work. My wife

has seen all your films.

I especially like your early, funny ones.

Dick Lobel. I'm with the

museum film department.

We have a collection of

more than 20,000 prints.

This is my friend Libby.

She thinks you're a genius.

Libby just did a definitive

cinematic study of Gummo Marx.

Interestingly, he's the one Marx

brother that never made any movies.

Hello. A pleasure to have you here.

You're the best. Your workss fantastic.

Here. Read this.

- I think you're absolutely magnificent.

- You're really intense.

We love you!

Hello, Isobel?

Isobel, I'm up here. Jeez, I'm going crazy.

Do you think you can get

up here? Well, I miss you.

In English. Speak to me in English.
