w spekulacjach o kinie:

None other than the great William Witney (aka Wild Bill Witney). For Gene, Witney had directed a nifty little 20th Century Fox picture titled Valley Of The Redwoods (1960), that Gene, himself, thought was one of the best pictures he ever made; he told me so. Witney was one of the greatest directors of action cinema in the history of the business. And Corman knew it. He pretty much created (along with stuntman extraordinaire Dave Sharpe) the modern movie fistfight. He came to it by observing one of his hero’s sets – – Busby Berkeley! – – and how Berkeley choreographed his dance sequences. And from watching the way the cinematic dance king covered the action with different camera set-ups, Witney figured the same technique might very well work for a fistfight. And, voila, the Hollywood donnybrook was born; the way Witney and Sharpe devised it is still the way we shoot fights to this day.
