The American Film Institute Dialogue on Film: David Wolper

[nice clean copy, with minor handling wear only]. (B&W photographs) Transcript of a seminar held October 11, 1972, with documentary film producer David Wolper, and several of his top staff members, including Mel Stuart. "Wolper was fresh from Munich, where the Wolper Organization had exclusive rights to filming the Olympics for a feature film. His candid responses to questions about this as well as the whole field of film production sparked an unusually strong exchange between the Wolper executives and the Center Fellows." The cover photo is of Wolper in Munich (where he had been filming that year's Olympic Games), jawing with Leni Riefenstahl -- which is a bit misleading, implying that Leni herself was involved in the seminar, which was not the case -- although her 1936 film OLYMPIAD does come up in the discussion, with Wolper offering his opinions that "it was great because it was before its time," but that "most of it was dull," and that (weirdly): "I don't think that the film itself had any political implications."
