In 1952, the Ford Fountain asked Faulkner to participate in a documentary, lasting only seventeen minutes, less than your average TV show! This film focused mostly on Faulkner's life during the pinnacle of his career, including him taking home the big W aka the Library Nobel Prize. In the scene you see below, he agrees to conduct an interview with the editor of the Oxford Eagle, Mr. Phill Mullen, but states, "But no pictures." ...Clearly, Mr. Mullen was sneaky one!
This expose aired on CBS-TV's Omnibus program, a series that aired until it ended a short time ago (1952-2003).
