The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

Patricia Marx interviews film and theater critic John Simon, who has recently published "Private Screenings" (1967), his newest compilation of film reviews. Mr. Simon discusses whether or not film has become the most vital art form of the day and whether or not it receives the criticism it deserves. He also shares his disdain for the works of Jean-Luc Goddard, and the lack of good American film directors. Mr. Simon concludes the interview reading his review of the Doris Day film "Move Over, Darling" (1963) from "Private Screenings."
