Documentary filmmaker Burgess Morian, formerly a military field journalist, ventured into European battlefields to shoot war documentaries. After retiring, he joined MGM, and his documentaries have received awards in the past, meeting all of Hardy's requirements.
Hardy recounted the entire incident to Moran, who became excited upon hearing it. "Recording the process of apprehending bank robbers sounds very interesting to me."
"I want to capture that tense and thrilling feeling because eventually, I plan to screen it in cinemas."
Moran became even more excited.
All his previous work had been documentaries, none of which had ever made it to cinemas. "Mr. Hardy, rest assured, I will definitely capture the tense and thrilling sensation."
He pondered for a moment. "I'll need eight cameramen, eight handheld cameras."
"No problem."
"I want to use all color film."
"Understood."
