It's Busby Berkeley's birthday, and while TCM plays his Warner Bros. classics of the early 1930s, I'm reminded of this filmed interview with him from French television, brought back a decade ago at the NYFF:

'I wanted to do the Bond series. It was done by my former assistant director Cubby Broccoli.'—Howard Hawks, in Joseph McBride's great interview book Hawks on Hawks.
