As of the... late 1970s, I made several movies for American television. Two with Katharine Hepburn, the lovely Katharine Hepburn, and one with Lucille Ball. They were all made in the same way. American television movies are made very much in a pattern. Even with a star like Katharine Hepburn you cannot get more than $2.5 million. That was true in 1978, 1988 when we made that first film. In 1992 it was still true. I don't know about now. But $2.5 million was the top budget, and 22 days was the top schedule, even with Katharine Hepburn. I went into it at one point and said, 'Well, why can't we make this film more comfortably in 25 ten-hour days, 250 hours, instead of 22 12-hour days, which is 248 hours or something'. The reason turned out to be the actors. The crew's salary would be the same, the actors, having, let's say, seven days work in a 22-day period, is very different from having seven days work in a 25-day period, because there are three extra days where he could be working somewhere else. So that is a crucial factor why you cannot get any extra time. Absolutely crucial. So you'll find that 22 days is generous. There's a lot of American television material which is shot in 14 days. So 22 days is generous, but to me, it's absolute hell, because to make a full feature, and I've never made a difference between... in my mind there's no difference between a cinema film and a film made for television. My work is the same. I take the same kind of care. I want the same kind of result. Because a film that is made well for television could also be screened in the cinema, there is no difference. But America is the only country where I found you still can make a differentiation between a TV movie and a theatrical movie, because they're almost like two separate industries. The top budget for a TV movie is $2.5 million, the bottom budget for a theatrical movie is something like $12 million. In between there's a huge gap into which black hole fall a number of subjects which just cannot be produced because they're too expensive for television and too cheap for the cinema people.
