Interview complete
Jan. 25th, 2007 12:01 pmHmm, the post that I'd intended to make noting that the interview was finished and ready for download and so on never made it. So I'll make this post it, I guess.
The interview was great. It went to three hours and forty-six minutes, and is now available for download in five conveniently-sized chunks.
Peter had some great anecdotes to share. One of my favorites was this story about his good friend Christopher Lee:

"The German company [dubbing The Last Unicorn] made the mistake of agreeing—when [Christopher Lee] said, 'Oh, we had such a good time doing it,' that he would be glad to do [King Haggard in German as well as English] if they would trust his German. He would do it for expenses, not a salary. <pause> They would have saved a lot of money if they'd given Christopher a salary, because watching him at work was a master class in what you can do with an expense account. To this day, I've never figured out how he managed a trip to what was then Yugoslavia, when you consider that he's just dubbing a movie in German."I enjoyed every minute of the interview, and I hope you do as well.
