The first one was for the Most
Promising Newcomer of the Year.
:58:03
It was the Photoplay Award, 1957.
And were they wrong.
:58:09
The attention the picture
got caused an uproar...
:58:11
...with every creative bit
of talent in the studio.
:58:14
"How can Evans run the studio, be involved
with our pictures and make his own?"
:58:19
They were all fucking jealous.
:58:21
If the picture had flopped, it wouldn't
have made a difference. Confrontation time.
:58:26
I was given two choices.
:58:27
To continue running the studio,
with a much-increased deal by the way...
:58:31
...or go out with my own
banner and make films.
:58:34
It was a tough choice, but I was just tired
of working 18 hours a day...
:58:40
...eight days a week,
to make everyone else rich but myself.
:58:45
With that in mind, I said,
goodbye, studio. Hello, producer.
:58:51
And went out on my own.
:59:57
It wasn't my scene.
I rarely ever drank.
