Robert Altman: The TV Work

At the invitation of the Austin Film Festival, I worked with Robert Altman in producing the first-ever retrospective of his television work, from his early career as a studio contract director in the 1950s through to his late-period series and specials for cable. From Austin, I brought the series to the Cinetecca Bologna and the British Film Institute. Some real gems were uncovered for this retrospective, particularly "Once Upon a Savage Night," a neo-noir thriller Altman directed for Universal in 1964. He shot this telefilm (for Kraft Suspense Theatre) on location in Chicago, almost entirely at night, becoming the first director to utilize Kodak's new high-speed color stock.
