out there, the Conrad Bachmann Auditorium, And she said yeah,

were in high school, Otherwise they wouldn't name the theater.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Why why did you think I was gonna bring off rockets?

mess up a scene so that you could reshoot it
and want an involve kissing? Oh I slipped, I'm sorry, yeah,
or call her by her real name, Rita? I love you? Oh,

That's the way you operate, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Colutely Yeah, you got me pegged.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Man, Did you have to be careful where you put
your hands when you're embracing a woman in a film,
when you're shooting a film?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
M you got to put it right where I thought
I should.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, but I know, and then what would there ever
be any Hey you're grabbing a little low on my
behind or something like that?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, occasionally.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, I guess that's you know, you're you're actor, you're working,
but you're also trying to be a gentleman.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I guess not trying to be a gentleman. I got it. Okay, Well,
thanks a lot, Harry, I'll see you later.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
He doesn't know how to be a incredibly polite he's
a funny guy. Conrad Bachmann, what one hundred and fifty films?
Two hundred films? How many times you mean that I've done? Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh, I've not that many.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, I knew it was close. What are you shooting
right now?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Actually nothing, I'm getting ready to do another.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh I see.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And I just finished one. But I'm getting ready to
do the Louisville's International Festival Film.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I know that's why you're home because that's next week.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah here, yeah, but I'm living here now.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well that's awesome. But let me ask you another question
about the actual work of making a film. Okay, you
are almost ninety two years old? Can you remember your lines?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
See? I mean, is that a challenge for you? But
you just do it by roaches? You just do it
by feel now.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
No. I mean I could tell you my secret, and
I learned it a long time ago when I was
doing a series called The Rugs with David Nivin Gig Young,
and Gig used to walk around this set with this
big boom box on his shoulder, and I thought he
was listening to the track. And so one day I
said to him, I said, Gig, I got to ask
you a question. What the hell are you listening to
(05:09):
all the time? He said, my lines? I said, what
do you mean your lines? He said, I have a
hard time memorizing my lines. So I put them all
on tape and then I played them all day in
my ear and that it's repetition, and I get him,
and I went, God, you got to be kidding. So
I started doing it, and let me tell you, man,
it did work.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh absolutely, because I've seen photos from the Godfather set,
and you know you have. I don't know one of
the side actors, Pacino, somebody who's wearing placards with the
words on him for Brando.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I gotta tell you what I was doing the Andy
Griffith show. Andy could not learn his lines, and whenever
it was over my shoulder on him, he had all
his dialogue all over my chest. He had dialogue on
the walls. If you watch that clothes sho I watched
that show closely, you'll see him kind of looking around
and down this way and talking and he'll talk this way.
(06:07):
But that's because he's checking lines all over the place.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Wait a minute, you're Otis the town drunk.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
No, you're not.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
What Andy Griffis shows. What was the premise? Were you
on one or multiply?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Judge? You're a judge occasionally, you know, I come back
on it and his judge now.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And put some in. Put Otis in jail. Yeah, give
Otis the death penalty.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
He needed that.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, But threw rocks Ernest t Mass. He would come
in and throw rocks through the windows.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Andy was good to work, but he just couldn't remember
his lines and we always have to stop a lot
of times to start over.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Didn't he fall in love with the school teacher lady?
I mean think I had a little side deal going
on there. Miss uh whatever her name is. She was
the school Opie's school teacher. You know, I don't really well,
I've read that before, oh, because I found that kind
of interesting. Yeah, yeah, anyway, miss Crump, I think that
was our name on the s's Crump. I think that
(07:02):
he was in love with her in real life, and
saying he was in love with a lot of people.
He was in love with his wife as well. It's
a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh yeah, honey, I'm going to work with that lady.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I'm in.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
That's a good way to get stabbed.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, yeah, you look great, man, have you been?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I appreciate it. It's got out of the pokey a
few days agoing them all right. Don't look at that
ankle bracelet I'm wearing. You know, you got to monitor
these things. So you have the Louisville International Festival Film
next week. I wish I could go, but the parole
officer says that bracelet says, you're only land on the
radio station for four be a benefit for us? How many?
How many films are available next week for the Louisville International,

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hundred and forty So we had one hundred and forty
eight films submitted. I had to do some major cutting
this year, but we have over one hundred films and
we've got some incredibly great films. I should have written
down the countries. We've got about eight or nine countries
that have submitted films again this year. And our opening
(08:02):
night film, now this is exciting, is with Lance Burton,
famous magician.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Love that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah, and he's going to be there making a personal appearance.
He's to do a couple of things. But it's a
funny film. It's all about Vegas mafia and trying to
get rid of him, make him disappear.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
He is a great guy. He's been on the show
a zillion times a week. He's super down. He lives
in southern Kentucky. Now, I was after the house down
