 We had an excellent dinner in the lobby of the
Paramount on Friday night. How the champagne flowed!
Kevin and
Carl made a
speech. Carl quoted Nap: "Impossible is not French!"Kevin was worried - the Triptych sequence was out of sequence at rehearsal. The screening was sold out. There was a real buzz of excitement. The Americans love a young hero who is up against it. How they cheered Nappy on. The Triptych was... An absolute triumph. I managed to sneak some photos. The whole audience rose to their feet and roared their approval as only Americans know how. The closest we came to Coppola was his excellent wine, which we are drinking now in Fisherman's Wharf. | More in 70mm reading: Abel Gance’s "Napoleon" Presented in “Polyvision” Kevin Brownlow Interview - Part 1 Carl Davis Interview Projecting “Napoleon” – une pičce de resistance Internet link: Carl Davis' "Napoleon" diary Carl Davis on Facebook USA Today Mercury News Los Angeles Times San Francisco Chronicle About Triptych Coppola Winery |
