Wolfgang Glattes discusses his 35-year career as a 1st AD and UPM, highlighting his work on such productions as Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Cabaret and All That Jazz, as well as his working relationships with Bob Fosse, Otto Preminger and Sidney Lumet. Glattes on working with Director Sidney Lumet: "When you work with a director you have to really do your homework. You should see all his films or most of his films to be able to see his style. Then you have to talk to people who worked with him – people you can trust – what the director's all about. Sidney was one of the few directors who would sit down for like two days, three hours a day, and go through the schedule I designed. He was a person who shoots a movie in 42, 43 days, so on my first budget, I had a schedule of 47 days, and he said, 'Wolfie, I've never done a movie in 47 days. You gotta' cut it down.' I knew I was a little heavy, but I knew he was going to cut it down to his famous 43 days and he came in at 41 days. I learned a lot from him."
