I got to watch Frank Capra, in his eighties, in action. You read all the stories about Frank Capra fighting with the head of Columbia, Harry Cohn, It's my way or the highway. I got to watch that. He lambasted me, You cannot do this. You will fail. Finally, after another hour of conversation, I convinced him to help me write the speech.
