In these two videos, which I found in the archives of Killing the Buddha, Woody Allen interviews Billy Graham. Other commentators place the interview in 1969, the Summer of Love. I find it funny and delightful. The two men are so different, and yet seem to enjoy one another’s company, trading quips and making deals.
WOODY: I’ll tell you what. If you come to one of my movies, I’ll come to one of your revival meetings.
BILLY: Well, now, that is a deal! (They shake hands) I would like to come back and report on that. …
WOODY: You could probably convert me because I’m a pushover.
Like other bloggers before me, I must remark on how good natured and honest they are with each other, and how unlikely such a meeting seems in this day and age. And what a mix of character and charisma that Billy Graham has! He was something else in his day.
