Delbert Mann on a World War II experience that altered the course of his life

Director Delbert Mann shares the story of an experience in World War II that altered the course of his life. It started with a conversation between him and a fellow airman:

"We got to talking about what do you want to do after the war is over, if we survive this war. And he said, 'I think I'd like to be a poet.' I said, 'I think that's fascinating.' He said, 'What do you want to do?' And I said, 'Well I don't know. I like theater best. I really would like to do that. But I just don't know whether I can.’”
