Death comes in a flash, and that's the truth of it, the person's gone in less than 24 frames of film.
Martin Scorsese

DAYS THAT I'LL REMEMBER is a lovingly assembled and beautifully written collection of conversations, observations, and memories of music, friendship, and days gone by. It's good to be back again with John Lennon, his beloved Yoko Ono, and his trusted chronicler and friend Jonathan Cott.

Could you double-check the envelope?
Martin Scorsese
Image
I don't think there is any difference between fantasy and reality in the way these should be approached in a film. Of course if you live that way you are clinically insane.
