Description

In this lively, far-ranging Bill Moyers interview, students receive a firsthand look at the creative mind and collaboration that gave birth to All in the Family, The Jeffersons, One Day at a Time, and other groundbreaking TV comedies. Moyers talks with producer Norman Lear about inspiration, writing, working with actors, and the ratings-driven interests with which any network television creator must contend. Combining soulful behind-the-scenes conversations with Carroll O'Connor, Bonnie Franklin, Marla Gibbs, and other performers, the film also features Lear's wry recollections of his youth and equally telling impressions from his wife-all of which emphasize the place of memory and family in a storyteller's imagination.
