• Genevieve Poinier : 1965. Not a good year for film, not a good year for Fishko. It was then that Monarch Studios decided to take a bold step forward. They would make the switch from black and white to color with the film "Son of Samson." It proves to be the undoing of Monarch Studios and Fishko himself for the film goes twelve hundred dollars over budget - bankrupting the studio.

• Genevieve Poinier : Monsieur Fishko, it was Truffaut who said of you, "Fishko is a poet who does not show his poetry."

  Sy : Truffaut. Wasn't that the guy in "Close Encounters?" Speaking of "Close Encounters"...that was a complete rip-off of my first sci-fi flick, "Commies From Mars."
