I myself met John when he had a condo at still waters resort in Alabama. Nice guy, gave me a autographed blue thunder poster.

Great documentary. Nowadays it should be easier but most operators use that to act fancy with it instead of capturing what’s happening. I know I’m getting old but this confuses me. So i never watched what I did in front of camera.

3:33 Hollywood beds come with L-shaped sheets which cover women's breasts but not men's chests. (I think it was Roger Ebert who has made this observation.)

A great documentary on its own terms, but the subject matter, the life and work of John Alonzo! I’m swooning. I only wish that Spanish captions or autotranslate was available on this video. There’s some non-English speaking people I would like to watch this, not just because John’s father was from San Luis Potosí and he was a Mexican American, but so they can grasp what a master of light, what a master of movement, John Alonzo was.
