I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with TCM‘s Robert Osborne twice, and each time it was a learning experience from someone whose knowledge of movies was nothing less than phenomenal, and second only to his love for the art form.  A dapper gentleman with a sharply honed sense of humor and a courtly manner, each conversation was far too short considering all the questions I had, and the stories he had to tell.

The second time we talked, if was for a TCM screening of THE PINK PANTHER at the fabulous movie palace, the Castro Theater.  Robert Wagner was there, too, wearing a scintillating pink polo shirt. This time, prompted by my asking Wagner about his close encounter with D. W. Griffith, Osborne waxed philosophical about the circle film viewing has taken over the years,  as well as Charlie Chaplin and Blake Edwards. You can listen to that 2013 interview here.
