Happy Birthday Peter Falk!

"All right people, let's all get on the same page, here. NBC is giving us their best programming night to produce a police crime mystery, NBC Mystery Movie Of The Week. This means we have a show introduction time of exactly 59.8 seconds to capture our national audience with just a broad audio and visual opening. As you know, we will have rotating star performers each week and they all can't speak at the broadcast opening.

We need a smash visual opening that will depict this show with alternating star talent, and from their own unique story lines, digging out the truth of this crime, and how difficult this is, and how smart you need to be to do it. Now, I want from you people to produce star-quality visuals depicting all our rotating talent. Budget dictates we cannot do a new opening for each weekly broadcast.

We must, in one opening, illustrate the great variety of talent the NBC Mystery Movie Of The Week is offering and then. end with a voice-over announcing the current week's star talent. The orchestra in our music department is working on a mystery theme that will inflect a sense of danger...questioning...searching for truth. Music will employ the ever-important guitar strumming, and whatever else the composer can come up with. Who knows, ...a slide whistle, a glockenspiel?

Music knows how to hit hard and keep on running, so it is extremely important we work arm-in -arm with our orchestra. Today, we know we have 10 days to produce the show's opening and...that opening MUST capture our audience in 59.8 seconds. Remember, this excellent show we are making happen is the NBC Mystery Movie Of The Week!

In addition, we will do this without the advantage of a computer, Windows 70, or Microsoft PowerPoint. This is what we do, and have always done. Now, team, make it happen."
