"I mean, when you think of the fact that Victor Fleming ... Victor Fleming made Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz in the same year. Now today, between them it would take 30 years. It's ridiculous."
Michael Cimino, the Academy Award winning director of The Deer Hunter has passed away at the age of 77.
His tender tribute to Clint Eastwood who gave him the start in the business ("The Boss"/"I think Clint should be president") and John Wayne last year is here ( "I think both of them are very special. Two legends, two American legends, my God.").
May he rest in peace.
