Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

No line says they, or a film of theirs, drew on anything.

  1. craft (craft): Richard Sylbert → Chinatown. For all its darkness Chinatown is a beautifully designed film; Sylbert's production design is why it looks gorgeous.
    “Chinatown that is a very elegant, um, beautifully designed film, Richard Silbert, um, you know, did this gorgeous looking.”
