P3D Andre de Toth in person

[Lawrence W Kaufman <kaufman3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was reading in the twelve page (WOW) July issue of
the 3-D News that the director of "House of Wax" (1953)
can be seen in person on Saturday, July 25th:

A Day with Andre de Toth (my favorite director). For $135.00,
you can learn from the master director, Andre de Toth. A new
course at UCLA this summer, is a one day program that features
Andre de Toth, filmmaker for 70 years whose directing credits
include House of Wax in 3d; uncredited second-unit director on
Superman and Lawrence of Arabia. Moderated by Robert
Koster, production manager and associate producer on more than
40 films.

Following the screening of two of his best films, one in the morning
and one in the afternoon, de Toth will discuss his life and career, his
camera angles and dolly shots, his casting problems and financing
challenges. ìIn the end, the picture business is quick, unexpected and
very painful,î de Toth says. Copies of his memoirs, Fragments:
Portraits from the inside and de Toth on deToth, an extended
interview by British film commentator Anthony Slide will
be available for autograph and purchase at the event.
(310)825-9917 or (818)784-7006 or check their website:

Friday, August 14th at the screening of two of his films. The double
