Released in 1978, Superman: The Movie became the archetype of the modern superhero film. It also established Richard Donner as a master of the action-adventure genre, propelling him on to a career that includes the Lethal Weapon franchise as well as Maverick, Conspiracy Theory, and Sixteen Blocks. In this program, Donner reflects on his accomplishments and shares what he has learned about working in Hollywood. He describes the challenges and rewards of directing Gregory Peck in The Omen-including a clash with the star over one particular scene-and stresses the importance of on-set humor, which can help actors confront tough material. Donner also talks about making more personal films like Inside Moves and Ladyhawke.
