The Live Television Generation of Hollywood Film Directors: Interviews with Seven DirectorsTelevision directors Arthur Penn, Delbert Mann, Jeffrey Hayden, George Roy Hill, Paul Bogart, Paul Nickell and Ted Post began their careers in New York during the heyday of the live drama shows. It was there that they learned their craft and honed their skills. With the end of the live era in the late 1950s, these directors found themselves working on film. They brought many of the techniques of the live age to their new medium, altering the traditional production methods of Hollywood. Here these seven directors discuss their approaches to working with cast and production personnel, the social and aesthetic issues they first raised in the live television dramas and continued in their film work, and their interaction with critics and viewers. |
