EPISODE FOUR - OUT OF IT In 1967 Paul Williams wrote and directed the film “Out Of It”. His production partner Edward Pressman, cinematographer John G. Avildsen, and a cast of future TV stars and Jon Voight fell in with his sophisticated take on high school. By the time “Out Of It” was released in 1969 films like “The Graduate” & “American Graffiti” had already mined the territory and rendered “Out Of It” quaint. Today, it is celebrated by filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino and Larry Karaszewski, and shares some powerful resonances with the latest from Paul’s old friend Steven Spielberg, “The Fablemans”.
