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.

Humphrey Cobb: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Paths of Glory (1957), which they were tied to as admirer of Menjou's mustache: Humphrey Cobb ⇒ Paths of Glory (the host's read). Paths of Glory is based on Cobb's novel, which Kubrick read in high school and never forgot.
    “Humphrey Cobb's novel pads of glory.”

The Killing (1956): 1 line

  1. unmapped (led to) · through Paths of Glory (1957), which they were tied to as admirer of Menjou's mustache: The Killing ⇒ Paths of Glory (the host's read). Kirk Douglas saw The Killing and wanted that director for Paths of Glory.
    “And then didn't Kirk Douglas see this and went, oh, this is paths of glory.”

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

David Simon: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Paths of Glory (1957), which they were tied to as admirer of Menjou's mustache: Paths of Glory ⇒ David Simon (the maker said so: David Simon cites it regularly). The speaker calls Paths of Glory a Rosetta Stone for Simon's stories of institutions versus the people below.
    “this is the sort of Rosetta Stone, if you will, for him.”

The Wire (2002): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Paths of Glory (1957), which they were tied to as admirer of Menjou's mustache: Paths of Glory ⇒ The Wire (the maker said so: David Simon cites it regularly). David Simon reportedly cites Paths of Glory as the number one influence on The Wire: institutions chewing up the people on the ground.

What was said about them, by kind

what-if (1)

  1. what-if (what-if): Alejandro Jodorowsky → Salvador Dali. Jodorowsky planned to cast Dali as the Emperor at a huge hourly rate.
    “Obviously, famously, he was going to have Salvador Dali play the emperor at like 10% of the budget going straight to him.”
