Talking To Paul Mazursky

Here’s a nice chat with director Paul Mazursky, whose Down and Out in Beverly Hills is terrifically underrated. Personal anecdote: A couple of years ago Mazursky wrote a piece for a publication I was editing. Not wishing to be presumptuous about selecting from his body of work, I got him on the phone and asked him which particular movies he wanted us to list in his credit line. “Eh,” he responded, “go to IMDB and pick four. They’re all there.”
