Hi there Brother Rat. Great review and very clever subject line! I didn't see his interviews, but you do capture it all.

Thank you so much for this wonderful compilation of Ming the Merciless' Max von Sydow's insightful remarks...you really conveyed the range of his experiences and the humor of the man brilliantly. Something tells me that MvS did not speak about Three Days of the Condor long enough for a certain Ms. Cutter, no?!

I particularly loved the understatement about Bergman noting that he was “a little different from the average Mr. Sweden,” which made me giggle. I think that the agent you mentioned as Paul Conyer may actually have been Paul Kohner, a Czech-born agent who influenced films from the silents to the eighties, representing everyone from Greta Garbo to Liv Ullmann. In his spare time Kohner was married to silent actress Lupita Tovar---who is still living at 113!--and began a show biz dynasty, fathering actress Susan Kohner, producer Pancho Kohner. Susan Kohner's sons Paul and Chris Weitz have also been highly successful as filmmakers today (About a Boy, A Single Man and many more).

David,
Fabulous recap of MVS' interview.

His inflection on the statement, "finally the cat got it right" was my favorite comment that he made. It got a big laugh.

Such a multi-layered interview of a complex artist. I relished that moment, and I am so happy your notes were so complete!

Thanks for posting this! I really didn't know much about Max von Sydow. Wish I could've been there to see him.
