- Note
- Interview with Nora Kaye and Herbert Ross conducted by Walter Terry, primarily about the 1977 film The turning point. Ross contributes relatively few remarks to the conversation, and due to poor sound quality, most of what he says is not intelligible. The date and location of the interview are not known, but based on the contents, can be identified as most likely after the film was finished but before its general release (1976 or 1977?).
- Sound quality is fair to very poor. The recording is marred by extraneous noise, the volume fluctuates, and the final approximate 15 minutes of the recording is almost completely unintelligible.
