Steven Spielberg's very first sit-down interview on television. He discusses with Tom Snyder how he made "hem and stich" 8mm "mayhem" films as a teenager and spent an entire summer while in High School roaming the Universal movie lot, observing TV episodic television being made (Wagon Train, Convoy, Run For Your Life), and observing editors doing their craft. Spielberg describes how one of his college films was seen by head of Universal, Sidney J. Sheinberg, who gave the young filmmaker a chance to direct ten episodic television programs, including Night Gallery, Marcus Welby M.D. and Colombo with Peter Falk who Spielberg states he enjoyed working with very much. He mentions that these first films for Universal, including three feature length made for television efforts, were a great experience for future feature films that he would soon be working on, including Jaws which is discussed related to challenges working with a mechanical shark. Spielberg also recalls anecdotes about working with Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss on Jaws. He talks briefly about his next film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which he has been working on for the past three years, scheduled to open in theaters during the Christmas holiday (1977).
