The father`s greatest folly is that he believes he can be a much more simple person than he is; he is not really able to deal with his own complexity as a human being.
That`s a very odd notion because it involves seeing money up there on the screen - if something cost $5 million to make, they want to see that $5 million up there.
That is where the irony of the film comes off, in terms of the language it employs - where he tries desperately to be a `TV Dad,` to give advice and it`s so pat it becomes ridiculous.
Right now my career is totally schizophrenic, because when an American production like Hitchcock Presents asks to see my work I would never dream of showing them my independent films.
