and everybody was talking about
the Beverly Canon...
especially when he ran
the uncut "Wild Bunch."
I mean, that was like
missile blast.
Everybody, anybody
who loved film knew about this.
And on a rainy day,
in the Beverly Canon theater...
2,000 people, or however many
people showed up...
for the screening.
in his life happened...
because Peckinpah arrived
with the print.
And it certainly was momentous
because it...
his bond with Peckinpah
just extended from there.
Jerry certainly was one of the
people that looked up to Sam...
as I guess kind of
a father figure.
Jerry felt that way about
a number of creative people...
that he admired and appreciated.
He was always surprising me.
It was Sam this and Bob that,
and I thought, " Whoa!
How did you get
to meet these people?"
That he arranged a screening for
"Some Call It Loving" there...
you can't help
but respect someone...
who has taken all the time
and effort...
to educate himself,
become familiar with...
with not only my films...
ones I did with Kubrick
of course weren't obscure...
but "Some Call It Loving"
was kind of an obscure film.
I met Jerry Harvey
in my mother's living room.
the time, and they were friends.
And I came bounding
into her house...
and he was standing there.
It was kind of love
at first sight, I think.
night after he left my house...
for 11 hours.
He came over the next night
after that...
and I don't think he ever left
for 3 years.
He had aspirations
to be a filmmaker...
as a screenwriter.
about two college kids...
who were witness to a murder.
And that's how we really started
writing together.
And we ended up getting
the agency off of that...
meeting Monte Hellman.
Jerry was also involved
in the making of a film...
a western that he had written,
I believe, and that...
he was able to
raise the financing...
and went over to Italy to do it.
Are you satisfied now?
You ain't gonna last long, son.
There ain't no soft-hearted
gunfighters.
"China 9" was really great fun.
I always remember,
we flew into Rome.
Landed in Rome...
was picked up by the limo
at the airport...
and then went to Almeria.
Warren Oates was there.
Fabio Testi.
Jenny Agutter, Sam Peckinpah,
Monte Hellman.
We just had the best time, one
of the best times of my life.
There was of course
a tremendous black period...
when his sister, Anne,
committed suicide.
Jerry spoke to his sister
all the time.
They were very, very close.
Great friends.
And he adored her.
