Taxi Driver. This collection also features interviews with Michael Caine, Nathan Lane, Jeremy Irons, Mel Brooks, Robert Duvall, Francis Ford Coppola, Wallace Shawn, André Gregory, Clint Eastwood, Audrey Hepburn, Tracey Ullman, Samuel Jackson, Dennis Franz, and Divine.
Customer Reviews
Good Interviews, but missed opportunities
The first group of interviews were focused on the thread of Frances Ford Coppola and Marlon Brando, so some good opportunites were missed or edited out. I was especially disappointed that there were no follow up questions to Robert Duval when he said that Lonesome Dove was his favorite project. Clint Eastwood was terrific as was Nicolas Cage. Buy it knowing that it is flawed, but good nonetheless.
