On January 3rd, 2025, as President of the American Catholic Historical Association, I interviewed Martin Scorsese and bestowed upon him the ACHA Distinguished Service Award, at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, his boyhood parish. A wonderful conversation with the most significant filmmaker of our time.

“Don’t ask a dying man to lie his soul into hell!” Sam Levene to Ava Gardner in Robert Siodmak’s remarkable The Killers. Great line. Great film, part of the Siodmak retrospective at Film at Lincoln Center.
