And now, if you dig that
that's got everyone talking,
don't touch that dial,
'cause here at KFVD Los Angeles,
we've got Lightnin' Hopkins...
with "I'm Wild About You Baby".
Yeah, she made me mad
You don't know, baby,
what I got on my mind
You can't quit me,
there's no need to try
I'm wild about you
I'm wild about you, baby
I'm wild about you, baby
As wild as I can be
Whoo! Been a long time
Whoo-ooh
Good evening.
Uh, Dennis Stock
for Nicholas Ray's party.
Excuse me sir.
Uh, Mr. Ray?
Huh?
Dennis Stock.
I, uh, I...
I took some, uh,
publicity photos
for you on "Johnny Guitar".
Yeah, Dennis!
Great. Great.
I remember.
So, uh, you on to the next one?
Yeah...
Pretty much casting
"Rebel Without a Cause".
Uh, I'd love to show you the photos
sometime. They turned out pretty great, so...
Um, this is Natalie.
She's my "Rebel" lady.
Yeah.
Uh, nice to meet you.
You having fun?
Sure.
Come on, honey.
Nice to see you again.
- Enjoy it.
- Thanks.
Hello.
Hey.
Hey! Why have you
been dodging my calls?
- Take our photo!
- Excuse me?
Oh, you're the guy
from "Photo Play", right?
Huh... Uh,
"National Geographic", actually.
"Photo Play". Yeah.
Good luck with that.
And er... "The trouble ain't that
there's too many fools,
but that the lightning
ain't distributed right."
Exactly.
That was Mark Twain.
Who do you work for?
I'm kind of a self-assigned
assignment photographer.
Alright.
That's what you all say.
I create my own assignments
for "Life", "Look",
"Ladies' Home Journal"...
I'm guessing that you're
one of Nick Ray's actors?
Or want to be?
You play the Conga?
Uh, no.
Mm.
I'm Jimmy.
Uh, Dennis.
Hey, Jimmy!
Oh, hey, Nick.
I got some people
I want to introduce you to.
Yeah, alright.
Alright, yeah.
I, uh, I got a little part
in the new Kazan film.
There's a preview at the Electra
tomorrow morning at 11:00,
if you wanna come.
Yeah, sure.
We could meet at Googies after.
Jimmy!
- Come on!
- Yeah, I'm comin'.
I-I-I'm comin'.
You won't get the role
hanging out there.
I'm more like you.
Who is that guy?
How's Adam?
How's your father?
- Oh, you don't, huh?
- No.
Hey, Jim.
God damn, you didn't tell me
you're the star of it
Oh, I don't know about that.
Hey, uh... we should, we should
definitely take some photos.
It was a bit overdone, no?
Not too melodramatic for you?
No! Um ...no it's great.
I mean, maybe throwing the money
to your dad was a bit...
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Believe me, I was there.
But they weren't fake
tears in the end.
No, I'm just kidding.
You're good.
It's Hollywood.
It's... it's
not Hollywood.
Scrambled eggs for table 7!
Wow, they let you on set,
you must be well-behaved.
I mean I... I'd rather be doing
my own assignments.
I am one of those
red carpet gorillas.
Yeah, so, what are you ...what are you
going to do with all this talent?
I think I'll just
keep ignoring it.
It's worked so far.
Are you married?
No! No.
My... my ex-wife's in New York.
You got a steady girl?
Nah . No, I'm...
I mean, not one...
Yeah.
You?
What, don't you
read the gossips?
Pier Angeli is currently
making my life a misery.
You got much of a family?
Nah, I just got crazy mom
out in Long Island.
You?
I grew up on a farm in Indiana.
With my aunt and uncle.
So you wanna take some photos?
Oh, I don't know. I'm mean,
I'm planning on going back to New York.
I can come to New York.
Get "Life" to pay.
You wanna go for
a ride on my 'cycle?
Uh...
not really.
Jesus!
Hi, Jimmy.
Hey, Pier.
That's Dennis.
- Hi.
- Uh, he doesn't like my driving.
Do you mind if I
use your bathroom?
Sure. Let me show you.
And he's a photographer.
OK.
Oh, look...
That's who he works for.
For "Life"?
That's big.
Everything alright?
Didn't we meet when you
photographed Paul Newman?
Uh, yeah, we... we took
some photos on set last year.
And who do you
think will be bigger?
I mean, Jimmy or Paul?
Well, definitely Jimmy.
- Have you seen his film?
- Uh, yeah.
Yeah, it's...
it's very good.
It is.
When your film comes out,
then your life will become horrible.
Now what are you going to do about a
girl who says a thing like that, huh?
Maybe she knows
a little more than you do.
- Always your life is horrible.
- It's a nightmare!
Yeah, maybe that's just because
your English is lousy
and you never understand
what's going on.
- Shut up or I'll kill you!
- I kill you back!
Jimmy, Jimmy!
Elope and marry me.
What?
Marry me.
This is a proposal in America?
Yeah, why not, huh?
Dennis can be the wedding photographer.
How does that sound Dennis?
Yeah, that's my aim in life.
I got to tell
a compelling story,
alongside an exemplary cast.
I've been asked to mention
the new boy, James Dean,
whose unconventional approach
some may appreciate.
I got to work with Elia Kazan,
a wonderful director.
Ever since I saw
I thought here is a man...
a genius I simply
must work with.
Here's a man
who interprets
Tennessee Williams,
- John Steinbeck...
- I am so sorry.
Mr. Massey will only be five
more minutes, and then it's you.
...a great literature, even.
For example, you know,
" On the Waterfront",
Kazan delved into our,
our urban soul,
and I like to think of
" East of Eden"
as a kind of companion piece,
only, of course, this time it's...
"Magnum", New York.
John Morris.
Hey, John, it's Dennis.
My favourite menace.
Listen, you know Kazan's got
- Kazan...
- Yeah, Elia Kazan. "On the Waterfront".
Oh yeah . Kazan.
I-I never saw it.
Yeah, well, there's this kid
in it, he's interesting.
In "Waterfront"?
No, in, uh, in the new movie.
It's, uh...
from a Steinbeck book.
The kid's name is James Dean.
You heard of him?
Dennis, I am very busy.
What's he been in?
I mean, nothing yet.
But, uh...
starting something special
and I want to get in early,
do a photo-essay on him.
A photo-essay on
an unknown actor.
The way he looks,
the way he acts...
He won't be unknown for long.
You lose me here, Dennis.
Sell it like he's the symbol of the new
movement or something.
A movement? Like, what,
like a political movement?
John, I've been busting my gut doing
red carpets and set stills,
and I finally find what
might be a good story,
and I want to chase it! I want get
it on people's radar.
That's our job radar.
- Just leave that to us.
- Yeah, well, if leave it to you,
I'm going to be doing
this sh*t in ten years.
I've got to push
things along, John.
You're doing good stuff.
You're building your portfolio
one job at a time...
Yours is coming . It's coming.
Yeah, but you get these good jobs
for Elliot Erwood and Ernest Hass.
You know, Hass
had an exhibition.
I want to get an exhibition.
One day, you will have the body
of work for an exhibition.
This is my ticket out of here.
