[00:00.01]26-1 Opening Night ACT I [00:00.35]A little further to the right, Tom. [00:02.11]Is this OK? [00:02.87]Good. What do you think, Richard? [00:04.98]I like it there. [00:06.48]It's the first thing people will see when they come in. [00:08.89]It sets the tone for the whole show. [00:11.53]The next thing they'll see is [00:12.52]this enlargement with the words Family Album, U.S.A. [00:17.00]I can't believe this is really happening! [00:19.01]You've earned it. [00:19.84]Years of work went into these pictures. [00:21.81]I know, but it's still a dream come true. [00:24.75]Well, remember, [00:26.38]we're not sure [00:26.84]what the critics are going to write about your show yet. [00:29.77]And you never know [00:30.66]what the man from the New York Times is going to say about it. [00:33.18]Are you worried? [00:34.50]I always worry. [00:35.90]The reviews of this show [00:37.13]are important for the sales of your book. [00:39.58]When do we see the reviews? [00:41.52]Soon. [00:42.49]One of the critics is coming over this morning for a preview. [00:45.30]I hope he's in a good mood. [00:47.19]So do I. [00:50.56]Marilyn and I hope to use money from the sales of this book [00:52.57]to buy a new house. [00:54.06]The book will be a success. [00:55.64]And the show will help promote it. [00:58.34]Speaking of promoting the book, , [01:01.18]do I really have to [01:02.65]autograph copies for the guests at the opening? [01:04.40]It's common practice. [01:06.60]I feel uncomfortable about it. [01:08.50]A lot of people come to openings [01:10.31]just so they can get [01:12.06]the autograph of somebody who may be famous someday. [01:14.15]Couldn't we wait until I'm famous? [01:16.14]That might be sooner than you think. [01:18.28]This one over here, Mr. Carlson? [01:21.02]A little further back, Tom. [01:22.69]It's too close to the refreshments. [01:24.19]No, I think this one belongs in the "people-at-work" section. [01:28.98]You may be right. [01:30.29]Try it there, Tom. [01:31.30]Right. [01:33.73]Nervous about the opening tonight? [01:34.94]Nervous? [01:35.36]Me? [01:35.87]No. I'm scared to death. [01:40.41]How about guests? [01:41.61]How many people will you be bringing? [01:43.11]Well, my family, I guess. [01:46.35]My wife Marilyn, my father and mother, [01:49.25]my brother Robbie, [01:50.41]my sister and her husband and their daughter. [01:53.09]And my grandfather. [01:54.61]Is that too many? [01:55.65]No such thing as "too many" at an opening. [01:59.34]I hope they like it. [02:01.59]Your family or the public? [02:03.94]Everybody. [02:05.13]But especially my family. [02:06.86]They've stood by me through all this. [02:08.98]I'm sure they'll like it. [02:11.21]Harvey, how are you? [02:12.98]Mitchell, so nice of you to come. [02:15.44]Richard, this is Mitchell Johnson. [02:17.39]Mitchell is [02:17.81]one of the most important syndicated reviewers in the country. [02:21.47]Well, you're the young man who did all this. [02:24.24]I'm afraid so. [02:25.61]Nice to meet you. [02:26.54]Nice to meet you, Mr. Johnson. [02:28.20]Mitchell has always encouraged new talent. [02:30.83]Well ... you mind if I look around [02:32.23]and see what it says to me? [02:34.19]Be our guest. [03:27.18]Mm-hmm, hmm, uh-huh. [03:30.66]Mm-hmm, hmm, uh-huh. [03:36.28]What does that mean when he goes, [03:38.28]"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm"? [03:41.29]It probably means he's clearing his throat. [03:43.90]I don't know. [03:45.02]I don't care what the critics say, Mr. Stewart. [03:46.62]Your work is brilliant. [03:48.52]Thank you, Tom. [03:49.98]Tom is studying photography at NYU. [03:52.13]He's working with me during the summer months as an intern. [03:54.36]Oh, really? [03:55.28]I'd like to see your work. [03:56.42]It's not good enough to show. [03:57.53]I'm still learning. [03:58.38]Oh, I'd still like to see your work. [03:59.74]You may be the next Ansel Adams and not even know it. [04:01.15]If you really mean it, [04:03.25]I'll bring some of my pictures into the gallery. [04:04.70]I do mean it. [04:08.04]Very interesting pictures, Mr. Stewart. [04:09.84]You have a most unusual eye. [04:12.13]Thank you. [04:13.32]I hope that's a compliment. [04:14.46]It is. [04:15.76]Are you going to be reviewing the show, Mitchell? [04:17.42]Oh, yes. It's definitely worth reviewing. [04:20.41]Favorably? [04:21.75]Oh, you know I never answer that question, Harvey. [04:23.84]I'd like an advance copy of the book, though, [04:25.75]so I can study it. [04:27.50]I have an autographed one in my office. [04:29.80]Tom, would you give Mr. Johnson Tom, [04:34.40]the copy of Richard's book on my desk? [04:34.98]Just follow me, Mr. Johnson. [04:38.91]Sure. [04:40.32]Do you think he liked my photographs? [04:42.35]We'll know when tonight's papers come out. [04:45.54]Keep your fingers crossed.
