Let's begin again
Let's start over from the start
Let's forget the time that
Everywhere we've been again
Let's begin
Again
Let's begin again
Pay attention to the way we feel inside
Let's give love a spin again
Let's begin
Again
I equate films with sandcastles.
You get a bunch of mates
and you go down and say,
oh, let's build this great sandcastle.
And you build it.
And if the tide comes in in 20
minutes it's just smooth sand
and that structure you made
is in everybody's memory
and that's it.
What does it mean?
Fearless.
I grew up in Kansas City.
When I was 18 I became a ier
and I went overseas to the South Pacific.
and I wrote a letter
to a cousin of mine who was a
woman who I didn't know really,
but she was the secretary
to Myron Selznick.
Who was one of the big agents,
David Selznick's brother.
And I'd written her this kind of funny,
cute letter and she wrote
me back and she said,
oh, Bobby, you wrote such a nice letter
you should be... you're a writer.
And I thought, well, yeah,
that's what I'll do.
When I got out of the air force
my dad was living in California.
Malibu, up in the hills.
And so I move into my father's house.
had the downstairs apartment.
I told him, I said, I'm a writer,
and he said, oh I'm gonna be a director.
We should do something together.
So we wrote a story and we sold it to RKO.
They wouldn't let me write the screenplay.
I said well can I come and
watch the film being made?
No.
So I decided I'd be a playwright.
I wrote a play.
And I got in a car and I
was driving to New York
and I stopped in Kansas
City, which is my hometown.
And I ran in to a guy I had
known slightly in a bar
and he said what are you doing?
I said well I'm a film... film writer.
I'm writing screenplays
and I lied quite a bit.
I said I'm on my way to New York.
I'm doing my [ay-
What are you doing?
And he said I'm directing movies.
I said where?
He said well there's this place
here called the Calvin Company.
It's an industrial film place.
So I went over and I was introduced
and lied about what I had done
some more and they hired me.
Morning, Mr. Jones.
Morning Charlie.
You want me to fill 'er up today?
Yeah, and one more thing,
I'm in kind of a hurry
but I'd like to get an oil
change and a lube job.
My film school was working
in this industrial films.
I mean, I had to shoot, edit the films.
I learned all the tools.
When I was at the Calvin Company
a guy who's father owned a bunch of...
the mid-west, in Roden,
wanted to make a movie.
And, uh, delinquents, a delinquents movie.
And that's what it was
called "The Delinquents".
So I wrote it in about three nights.
I stayed up all night
and wrote this script.
Golly, do we have to go in?
Well let's just go in for a little while.
If we don't like it we
can always leave, okay?
We made it for $65,000 and
it was really terrible.
Ah!
Where you going?
But Hitchcock saw that film,
he was impressed with it.
So he called me in for a meeting
and he offered me a "Hitchcock Presents".
Hello.
Mrs. Gould.
This is...
Hello.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm going to call her and
tell her we're in love
and you're not going to stop me.
Hello.
Hello?
Hello?
What number are you calling?
I did two of those.
So then I got an agent and they
got me this job on Whirlybirds.
Two boys robbed the store
and slit the owner.
Could be the same ones
