By the late 1960's, American movie making had begun to change.

This was very common for American movies made in the 1930s to 1950s.

And when was the last time you saw that happening in an American movie?

Actually, American movies used to concern themselves with the boy or girl next door.

"I heard someone say that in an American movie," the voice said.

Oh sure, it's a nice American movie, nothing wrong with that.

I have watched too many American movies, he told himself.

"They would rather go and see the worst American movies."

It's unusual to find an American movie that takes its time.

Much more than that, it's one of the great American movies.
