00:10 >> Our little town looks so good.

00:13 We're just so excited about Wild River Days.

00:15 >> I would hear an old person talk about Wild River

00:18 and as soon as the subject got brought up, their expression would change.

00:22 >> Fifty years ago, there wasn't a lot of movie making, especially around here.

00:27 >> We're making more money than some of the fathers were making, you know.

00:31 >> We heard Monty was an alcoholic.

00:34 >> That was real stuff where he slept on that porch.

00:38 He was actually intoxicated.

00:40 >> There were times that he might not have been, you know, real sober,

00:45 but it didn't interfere with his acting.

00:48 >> All the conversations that Montgomery Clift had in the movie was done right here.

00:53 >> We're going to have a DJ there that's going to play music from the era

00:56 and then also some Hollywood-themed music like "Hooray for Hollywood"

00:59 because, you know, "Hooray for Hollywood," the filming here made a big impact.

01:03 >> This is going to be probably the biggest event that's happened here

01:07 since Lamar Alexander came through and walked the streets here in Charleston.

01:24 >> Yeah, one of the actual boards.

01:27 >> So cool.

01:30 >> Cletus Benton, you know, owned the Starview Theater, and everybody was there.

01:35 >> No one said, "Hey, they're having a premiere at the Starview."

01:42 >> That wasn't the way it was then.

01:44 >> You hear that electricity? That's progress right there.

01:47 >> That's progress.

01:49 >> Elliott Kazan, he was a good man. He didn't treat you different.

01:53 Some of them called him Elliot, and some called him Eli,

01:57 but I always just called him Mr. Kazan.

02:00 Monty Cliff was just really good to Judy, and Lee was too.

02:04 She bought her a doll.

02:06 >> What's your name?

02:08 >> Aubree.
