The football game, invaded by a crashing blimp, only occurs at the end. But in TWO-MINUTE WARNING, a sturdy suspense flick that came out a year earlier, the game is everything.<br /> <br /> A faceless sniper makes his way to an upper level of the L.A. Coliseum, eventually spotted by cameras and it’s up to cop Charlton Heston and SWAT leader John Cassavetes to take him out. But we’re skipping ahead – half the film sets up all the characters, inside and outside the stadium.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstf6-lKbgsc9Yvj2UOG3KnnudF-V_pa19gBvIT-ee3OVDJXtwy1E4p9TmL-VrQPqJu2vetk1TCXm7VjaEGhzn60u3UuF4n7rIcjuYTwjrbw3f39qcUQz9j2zTD-C_Ya-Gm5k7jUn3yP6Z/s1600/Picture+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstf6-lKbgsc9Yvj2UOG3KnnudF-V_pa19gBvIT-ee3OVDJXtwy1E4p9TmL-VrQPqJu2vetk1TCXm7VjaEGhzn60u3UuF4n7rIcjuYTwjrbw3f39qcUQz9j2zTD-C_Ya-Gm5k7jUn3yP6Z/s1600/Picture+3.png" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pamela Bellwood with Beau Bridges</td></tr> </tbody></table> These include Jack Klugman as an unlucky gambler who sits next to preist Mitch Ryan.

How was this experience?</b><br /> <br /> Scorsese told me he wanted me to play Doughboy. He handed me the script of TAXI DRIVER and said, “The dialogue’s too direct; you know the way we work – sideways.” I was at his office at The Burbank Studios. He added, “I’m going to shoot the city in such a surreal way no one ever has before. I’m going to turn TAXI DRIVER into a gothic horror story.”<br /> <br /> A week later I was called by an assistant of Marty’s and asked to come in and tape the part of Travis Bickle so they could send it to De Niro, who was doing 1900 in Italy, so that he could study my Midwest accent. I went in to the studio and read Travis Bickle’s lines into a tape recorder.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSM7BI336M3WeWfTVP_j3M6bpFTm7_Jj5T0lbAT7L_sXdLm5SbgnqConb_1c6hsvUU7IMkS3DPJElH65Rjwijh0BRZoZiHt6XAqScKont2t7JenCBK703uNtwGsIOsB3oJg8Qzuswd3b-epJRxMwz9AqsY5tUbkcMdSzE-OroeAYI92AeKBYY9k2Xerk4_/s836/2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="451" data-original-width="836" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSM7BI336M3WeWfTVP_j3M6bpFTm7_Jj5T0lbAT7L_sXdLm5SbgnqConb_1c6hsvUU7IMkS3DPJElH65Rjwijh0BRZoZiHt6XAqScKont2t7JenCBK703uNtwGsIOsB3oJg8Qzuswd3b-epJRxMwz9AqsY5tUbkcMdSzE-OroeAYI92AeKBYY9k2Xerk4_/s1600/2.jpeg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>Peter Boyle (Wizard) with Harry Northup </u><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>I had four scenes in the movie.

Peter Boyle and I had a rehearsal at Scorsese’s suite at the St. Regis Hotel at 6 P.M. and our call was at 8:45 P.M. We did the lines in the script, plus we improvised. Marty’s assistant taped the scene, typed out the recording and compressed the best and gave us the newly typed compression when we arrived on the set. Marty was always very thorough, covering the scene from every angle, master, to two shots, singles, close-ups.<br /> <br /> In the beginning, I remember he came up behind me, put his hands on my shoulders in a very warm way and said, “Relax.” I remember him loving and laughing at my improvisations. Once, someone brought a danish up to the table and put it between Marty and De Niro as we were all sitting there in between takes. They broke it in half and each ate half. They were the major parts of the film, along with Schrader’s magnificent script. But, Marty always gave each character his/her own rich density in the film.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjreU5mUJO2OE6ZAVP-N6h8DAzMFVEnrRdi2_kKBuGkMAkLzH8T2CCpmo-cWjsFkdE6mp7HN1KrvyNqoyLLloO4sKjgGIMug7EGCyk3sGPv5mkrREvXy2wI3ackt703_J4CInG-iqwnIm5UBiaAD1KA5omKCwu8E3-08jy5tt-1jk2bfZpiEE8xanbO8R9v/s851/h1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="459" data-original-width="851" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjreU5mUJO2OE6ZAVP-N6h8DAzMFVEnrRdi2_kKBuGkMAkLzH8T2CCpmo-cWjsFkdE6mp7HN1KrvyNqoyLLloO4sKjgGIMug7EGCyk3sGPv5mkrREvXy2wI3ackt703_J4CInG-iqwnIm5UBiaAD1KA5omKCwu8E3-08jy5tt-1jk2bfZpiEE8xanbO8R9v/s1600/h1.jpeg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>The cabbies hanging out at the 45th St. & 10th Ave. cafe</u></td></tr></tbody></table>The second large scene that I was in was shot in a real cabbies’ hangout on 45th and Tenth.

He did not want De Niro to rehearse with us. Wanted to help create the alienation. Same thing with the Bellmore Cafeteria scene. Most of the dialogue was in the script, but I spiced mine up – “Got change for a nickel, Travis?” instead of “Yeah, we went to Harvard together” after Wizard had asked, “Travis, you know Doughboy, Charlie T?” This scene was about “You carry a piece? You need one?” “Well, you ever need one, I know a feller that kin get cha a real nice deal. Lots a sh-- around.” Part of the action line of the script.

Marty loved the idea. He told De Niro that I was going to try something at the end – try to sell him something and just say no. The scene was fabulous and offbeat. Later, I realized Marty’s use of water images and it fit in.<br /> Marty always loved it when actors tried something new. After the movie was over, he sent me a signed pewter cup with TAXI DRIVER 1975 and his name printed on it. TAXI DRIVER won the 1976 Palme d’Or at the Cannes film Festival.<br /> <br /> <b>And how was it working with the late Peter Boyle?</b><br /> <br /> Peter Boyle was great to work with. When we met at Marty’s hotel suite to rehearse, Peter would have a yellow legal pad full of cabbie stories, but I could always come up with something better because when I was in college, I had driven a cab for ten months, so I had many real cab stories.<br /> <br /> On the set, we shared an RV for our dressing room, so we spent a lot of time together when we weren’t shooting. During shooting, he listened, he was very imaginative, he made me laugh. He was witty, a wonderful actor and a beautiful person.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2NmUzvhtlWVJkNl8BrbHsWboxjKPun9hzf863tH1JZWCTB-uw2ZOINRQurnoUy2lSBGVv8btqVBO6-4dqBltIPUOmEVz6Mzpq6WafOmAe8oDF3MQpUEcd2CnD7O365pCxDz1g1XY4ypnQsahRWIpQErDSvGjf1xKGoG9ylT3AKAb8FAx3Dn2QEmpZ3tt9/s853/h2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="853" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2NmUzvhtlWVJkNl8BrbHsWboxjKPun9hzf863tH1JZWCTB-uw2ZOINRQurnoUy2lSBGVv8btqVBO6-4dqBltIPUOmEVz6Mzpq6WafOmAe8oDF3MQpUEcd2CnD7O365pCxDz1g1XY4ypnQsahRWIpQErDSvGjf1xKGoG9ylT3AKAb8FAx3Dn2QEmpZ3tt9/s1600/h2.jpeg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>Peter Boyle and Harry Northup in TAXI DRIVER</u><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br />
