Remembering Peter Bogdanovich and Sidney Poitier

Send us a text

On January 6th, 2022 the film community lost two titans of cinema, director/film historian Peter Bogdanovich and actor/director Sidney Poitier.  Recently film historian Constantine Nasr interviewed Peter Bogdanovich for a special feature for the Blu-ray release of Preston Sturges's film, “The Great Moment,” along with Tom Sturges, the son of the director.  It may have been one of the last on-camera appearances for Mr. Bogdanovich in his well-accustomed role of film historian and Constantine relates stories from their time together.  Constantine also details his thoughts on the career of the ground-breaking actor Sidney Poitier.  He reads transcripts from the extras he produced for the DVD releases of the comedies Mr. Poitier directed.  And he discusses the current lack of access to some of the films of both Bogdanovich and Poitier.
