Personal Quote:

We're already a cross-culturalized society. I'm always concerned whether my friends in America will be able to understand what we're saying on screen.

Trivia:

After arranging for a screening of "Rope" at USC as well as an appearance by Hitchcock himself, the director invited the aspiring young filmmaker to come and follow him about on the "Topaz" set. Years later he visited mentor Hitchcock for the last time on the set of "Family Plot," the Master's last film. See more »
