And by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. Thank you. [ prologue from west side story playing ] jerry is the only genius ive ever met, my definition of genius being endless invention. He was very, very particular and that was both frightening and thrilling. If you do what Jerome Robbins tells you to do, youre gonna be just fine. People forget about him as a performer. He was a wonderful performer. When he was on sure ground he was fine. When he was on less sure ground or unable to express himself he was a terror. He insulted me many times. He was an absolute doll. Great artists are not great saints. Its two jobs. [ prologue from west side story continues ] good evening. Im ed murrow. The name of the program is person to person. Tonight well be visiting first with Jerome Robbins, the outstanding director choreographer in the American Theater today. At the age of 40 he can look back on an almost unbroken string of broadway and ballet hits during, oh the past 15 years
