Synopsis

In celebration of this weekend's Academy Awards, WUKY's award-winning history series Saving Stories, goes Hollywood. Doug Boyd, director of the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History in the UK Libraries, shares an interview with film producer Frank Price. He was a major figure in the field of American television from the 1950's-1970's, including as an executive producer of "Ironside," before becoming head of Universal Studios and head of Columbia Pictures in 1978. Price left television to continue his career in motion pictures. He discusses some of his movies, (Gandhi, Out of Africa, Kramer vs Kramer and Ghostbusters) and why a film like Out of Africa wouldn't even be made in today's Hollywood.
