Stanley Kubrick E Me - That's italia

I'd like to talk about another international movie star Stanley Kubrick Ricky, do you know that Kubrick's driver was italian? Or, is Italian, he was his driver he started as a driver and then became Kubrick's right-hand man for more than 28 years they worked together. He wrote a book, right? Yes, his name is Emilia D'Alessandro, he lives in Cassino, in his country house, with a garden, with chickens... and we went to visit him. My father was a peasant he always told me that the earth gives you satisfaction you can live by it and I did that up until a certain age but then I left Italy because I was about to be due for call up and I moved to England. It was on January 1960 that Emilio D'Alessandro left Cassino to avoid the National Service and left for England. Luckily I found this newspaper ad that said if you have a car, the more you drive the more you earn it was a private minicab company. During his work he was called an evening for a very special delivery, a weird object for a movie set. The movie was Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. One of his secretaries asked me, do you realise whom you are working for? She said, Stanley Kubrick. Never heard of him. She said, you have to meet him, he wants to meet you. Big beard, you could barely see his eyes we shook hands I thought he was the gardner! He said, Stanley Kubrick. I said, Emilio D'Alessandro. This encounter changed Emilio's life. There I go. Stanley Kubrick... well. Emilio started as a chauffer, then as it always happened with Kubrick, the director asked Emilio if he could do something else, and Emilio, lucky Kubrick, could always do whatever Kubrick demanded from simple daily-life tasks at home, to complex and delicate assignments for movie business. Bit by but, job after job, Emilio became the most trusted personal assistant for Kubrick, so that Emilio was the sole recipient for the keys to the private offices in Kubrick's apartment, where only the director could enter. Sometimes Kubrick tried to see if he could make Emilio interested in his work, for instance during the making of The Shining Kubrick asked Emilio if the actor he had chosen for the main role, Jack Nicholson was a good casting. I said, why don't you use Charles Bronson? Oh no, he said, He's not into it at all! But then, when I saw Jack I realised Stanley was right Jack Nicholson is the actor! One day I got a phone call, a voice said, Stanley is dead. I cursed, I told my wife let's go and see it because I can't believe it. When I entered the house Christiane saw me she opened her arms and went towards me she said, Stanley isn't anymore. I looked at my wife and I said, it's true then. It's true. And that was it. Emilio D'Alessandro with Filippo Ulivieri, Stanley Kubrick and me I was contacted by Emilio to write his story. It's been seven years since we first met. This book to me is... it's like Stanley is still with me we're always together. All in all, Stanley Kubrick was to me, like a father. He treated me, and my family... we were one family. Our director told us a bit about it, but it's a wonderful story! Emilio D'Alessandro, how I love him! You see, you deliver a weird white object and your life changes. Yes, indeed he got to know so many people, directors, actors What a splendid life! What a nice face! And then, he left this big world and came back to his small piece of land. Beautiful, beautiful story.
