The Opening Gambit: Stanley Kubrick | The Plot Thickens (S7 E2) | TCM

Stanley takes his first crack at filmmaking, starting with shorts and moving up to low-budget independent features. His family bankrolls his productions and his friends act as cast and crew, but his efforts fail to turn a profit. As his first marriage begins to crumble, Stanley plays chess for quarters, until a new friend gives him a shot at the big time. 00:00 -- Toba 05:25 -- Day of the Fight 12:56 -- Flying Padre 15:45 -- Fear and Desire 22:33 -- The Marriage Ends 24:34 -- Chess For Quarters 30:43 -- Ruth 34:44 -- Killer's Kiss 37:58 – Jimmy STANLEY traces Stanley Kubrick’s journey from a curious Bronx teenager, first inspired by a camera gifted to him by his father, to a visionary director who redefined the art of filmmaking.
