Quotes
[explaining why he was tearing pages out of the script of a western he was making that was behind schedule] Most horse operas run roughly 60 minutes. That means 20 minutes of riding, 10 minutes of shooting, 10 minutes of fighting and 20 minutes of plot. If you're in trouble, start cutting the plot!
