Director Arthur Penn (Bonaie aad Chile, Little Biq Man} had to start somewhere. This is it with Paul Newman as Billy the Kid. Almost all of Penn's: movies are events and his debut is no exception. “I tried a great many difficult things in thar movic because I didn’t know any better. | didn’t know how ta make a movie,” he told interviewer joseph Gelmis in 1969. Penn learned his craft directing live TV with four cameras. Warner Brothers gave him one cameraman (Pev Marley} to shoot his first film. “The second day, I said: ‘Hey listen, Marley, it seems to me so siniple to shoot two cameras en two different ienses. We would cover so much of the action, instead of having to break up here and move over here where | want fo move next.” Marley said, ‘1 retuse to be responsi- ble.” And so finally I said, ‘Okay, all right. Pll be responsible. I don’t even know to whom I’m being responsible. But whoever it is I'm responsible. Let’s shoot the second camera.” One well-known photro- graph of Billy The Kid shows him as left-handed aithough some historians claim it was printed backwards, Penn uses that image as a starting off point to question everything. New star Newman had a per- centage of the net and che film made a bundle. _ Novetnber brings sone Cae November X-Files movie fill CHRIS Carter has been hailed as television's golden boy of the nineties.
