Comments

Alexander Singer gave the chance to Stanley Kubrick to direct its first documentary. Alexander worked for the review March Of Time (series of cinema news celebrates) and had learned that its owners spent forty thousand dollars for films of eight or nine minutes. Alexander Singer and Stanley Kubrick decided to make the same kind of less expensive film for ten times.
