Conversations with Vincent

In 1990, during the filming of Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton asked actor Vincent Price (who Burton had idolized since childhood, and who subsequently was given a role in Edward Scissorhands and various other Burton productions) if he would be interested in starring in an independent documentary on Price’s life. Price agreed, and the self-financed black-and-white documentary was shot over 3 days in April 1990 at the Vincent Price Gallery in East Los Angeles College, under the working title Conversations With Vincent.
