Season 4 : The OTHER Paul Williams
Paul Williams, the director (not the songwriter or the rock critic or the architect…) shares excerpts and outtakes from his memoir “Harvard, Hollywood, Hitmen & Holy Men” currently available as part of the Screen Classics collection from the University Press Of Kentucky. Williams is the director of “The November Men” which World is Wrong listeners will already be familiar with, as well as films like “Out Of It” (1969) and “The Revolutionary” (1970) both starring a young Jon Voight. Williams, with his production partner Edward Pressman, was a producer of films like Brian DePalma’s “Sisters” & “The Phantom Of The Paradise” as well as Terrence Malick’s “Badlands”. Beyond the movies, Paul rode the many of the movements of 1960’s, 70’s & 80’s, both political and cultural, with characters as varied as Julie Christie and Huey P. Newton, Fidel Castro and most of the “important” directors associated with New Hollywood
If you’re interested in the story of New Hollywood, Paul’s memoir fills in some major gaps. And if you’re too lazy to read the book, this podcast will give you a taste of what you’re missing.
