 While filming a part on  _"Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre" (1963)_ (qv),  John Cassavetes (qv) saw Steven Spielberg (qv) lurking around  the set, as he was then in the habit of doing. Cassavetes approached  Spielberg and asked what he wanted to be. When Spielberg replied he  wanted to be a director, Cassavetes allowed the young man to direct  him for the day. He later invited Spielberg to work on this film  (Faces), Spielberg serving as an uncredited production assistant for  two weeks.
