King Vidor

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The Men Who Made the Movies
For the next two weeks BBC2 highlights the work of King Vidor, the film director whose gift for striking imagery made its first great impact with the silent classics The Big Parade and The Crowd.
KING VIDOR maintains that he has never made a film that contained a conventional villain - evil in his films is much more elemental, due to natural, economic, or social upheavals. In this programme, made for American television, he talks about his films, with extracts from The Big Parade, The Crowd, Show People, Hallelujah, The Champ, Our Daily Bread, Northwest Passage, Duel in the Sun, War and Peace.
Narrated by CLIFF ROBERTSON
Written, produced and directed by RICHARD SCHICKEL. A WNET production
