Legendary Film Director Robert Downey Sr. 1991

Here is an uncut interview with the legendary underground filmmaker Robert Downey Sr, when he hung out with Director John A. Gallagher and talked about his career in my apartment in 1991. I thought I would just run it all because its also a chance to learn a little bit about Director/Historian John A. Gallagher who died last year during the pandemic from Kidney failure. Rough Notes: In 1969 the Beatles were breaking up, Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon, and my parents wouldn’t let me go to some music event called Woodstock the year I started film school at the age of 19 and discovered a new 33 year old filmmaker on the scene with a very unconventional way of making films named Robert Downey Sr. All any young filmmaker like myself wanted to do at the age of 19 was to become a main stream Hollywood film Director, but not 33 year old Downey and a handful of other young filmmakers who took the art of making films into another direction, known as the underground movement. He 's admired for having written and directed the underground film Putney Swope, a satire on the New York Madison Avenue advertising world. According to film scholar Wheeler Winston Dixon, Downey Sr.'s films during the 1960s were "strictly take-no-prisoners affairs, with minimal budgets and outrageous satire, effectively pushing forward the counter-cultural agenda of the day." His work in the late 1960s and 1970s was quintessential anti-establishment, reflecting the nonconformity popularized by larger counterculture movements and given impetus by new freedoms in films, such as the breakdown of codes on censorship. In keeping with the underground tradition, his 1970s films were independently made on shoestring budgets and were relatively obscure in the Absurdist movement, finding culture notoriety. In 1961, working with the film editor Fred von Bernewitz, he began writing and directing low-budget 16mm films that gained an underground following, beginning with Ball's Bluff (1961), a fantasy short about a Civil War soldier who awakens in Central Park in 1961. He moved into big-budget film making with the surrealistic Greaser's Palace (1972). His last film was Rittenhouse Square (2005), a documentary capturing life in a Philadelphia park. Downey's films were often family affairs. His first wife, Elsie, appears in four of his movies (Chafed Elbows, Pound, Greaser's Palace, Moment to Moment), as well as co-writing one (Moment to Moment). Daughter Allyson and son Robert Jr. each made their film debuts in the 1970 absurdist comedy Pound at the ages of 7 and 5, respectively. Allyson would appear in one more film by her father, Up the Academy. Robert Jr.'s lengthy acting résumé includes appearances in eight films directed by his father (Pound, Greaser's Palace, Moment to Moment, Up the Academy, America, Rented Lips, Too Much Sun, Hugo Pool), as well as two acting appearances in movies where his father was also an actor (Johnny Be Good, Hail Caesar). Downey was married three times. His first marriage was to actress Elsie Ann Downey (née Ford) (1934–2014), with whom he had two children: actress-writer Allyson Downey (born 1963) and actor Robert Downey Jr. (born 1965). The marriage ended in divorce in 1975. His second marriage, to actress-writer Laura Ernst, ended with her January 27, 1994 death from Lou Gehrig's disease. In 1998 he married his third wife, Rosemary Rogers, author of Random House bestseller Saints Preserve Us! and seven other books. They lived in New York City. Downey Sr. died in his sleep at his residence in New York City on July 7, 2021. He was 85.
