Hollywood: The Selznick Years1969

Gregory Peck:
I said to him once, uh, perhaps he ought to try a simpler picture sometime. Start off with a couple of kids on a park bench and see what he could make out of that... and he said, 'Ohm that's not for me," he said. "The trouble with meis that I-I made my, uh, masterpiece when I was quite a young man, "\'Gone with the Wind.'" He said, "I know that's going to be the lead line in my obituary." He said, "every time I make a picture, I'm trying to top 'Gone with the Wind.'" Well, uh, he didn't... but he didn't because he didn't have to. He made one - among others - but he made one supreme classic film.and, uh, certainly left a very powerful mark on motion picture history and the history of motion pictures.
