:11:03
He was a kid from the Bronx
who was smart.
:11:05
I don't think he had much education.
He was a very good chess player.
:11:09
The intensity impressed me.
:11:12
I thought he had a vision
of someplace he was going.
:11:17
Fear and Desire was a youthful
apprentice exercise.
:11:21
Kubrick would later withdraw the film
from circulation.
:11:24
It got him noticed and helped to get
financial backing for his next feature.
:11:29
Killer's Kiss revealed Kubrick's
extraordinary ability. . .
:11:33
. . .to play with light.
:11:48
Stanley was making his second film. . .
:11:51
. . .and I wanted very much
to be the still photographer.
:11:54
I also wanted to see somebody
discovering and learning.
:11:58
I knew I'd be seeing that.
:12:00
This was Stanley at a point where he
had no physical resources at all.
:12:05
On Fridays, he dismissed the company
for a couple of hours. . .
:12:09
. . .went to the unemployment line and
collected his unemployment check. . .
:12:13
. . .because that's what he
was living on. It was $30 a week.
:12:18
He just about made it.
:12:20
He was very ambitious and he knew
this was gonna help him. . .
:12:23
. . .because once, there was a scene
in the morning, and the crew. . .
:12:27
. . .wasn't being paid much either.
Everyone was in a bad mood. He said:
:12:32
"Well, why don't we just take
the afternoon off?"
:12:36
I was amazed he was giving us
the day off.
:12:39
He always drove me home.
So on the ride home, I said:
:12:42
"Why are you always
so nice to everyone?"
:12:46
He said, "Honey, nobody's going to get
anything out of this movie but me. "
:12:51
The release of Killer's Kiss brought
Kubrick to James Harris' attention. . .
:12:56
. . .an up-and-coming producer
who had access to finance.
