Stanley was just 1 6 when he sold
this picture to Look...
:08:07
. . .one of America's great
illustrated magazines.
:08:11
When he graduated high school,
he joined Look as a photographer. . .
:08:15
. . .taking thousands of pictures. . .
:08:17
. . .experimenting and gaining experience
for the next stage of his career.
:08:52
Kubrick shot several features
on boxing for Look...
:08:55
. . .one on the rising young fighter
Walter Cartier.
:08:59
Passionate about the sport. . .
:09:01
. . .he realized he'd found
the subject for his first film.
:09:08
Day of the Fight was Stanley's
first effort at filmmaking.
:09:13
I was his assistant on that. . .
:09:16
. . .and I'm very proud of the fact
that I operated the second camera. . .
:09:21
. . .during the final fight sequence,
which is a real fight.
:09:26
And we were alternating
with each other:
:09:29
I was shooting when he was loading.
:09:34
I got the knockdown
because Stanley was loading.
:09:38
He's done it.
He's KO'd Bobby Jane.
:09:41
This is a fighter, Walter Cartier.
:09:45
He's just moved up one more place...
:09:47
...in a line that may end
with the championship.
:09:50
Following Day of the Fight,
Kubrick quit his job at Look...
:09:54
. . .and devoted himself
to making films.
:09:56
He moved to Greenwich Village
and supported himself. . .
:09:59
. . .by making short documentaries,
hustling chess in Washington Square. . .
