"There may have been one or two [films] which I was disappointed myself with. It all was because I wasn't allowed to do what I wanted to do, and there was tremendous interference from the studio or from those producers. But it's not a bad average, two out of 20 movies and they were a joy and a pleasure for me to make them. I dream about them and I often dream about Peter O'Toole, who's passed away quite a few years ago, and I'm directing him and working with him. And when I wake up from the dream, it was a pleasure, because we spent more time together again."

(Peter Medak, nato Medák Péter, regista; Budapest, 23 dicembre 1937 – Los Angeles, 27 ottobre 2026)
