Concerning the film Viva Zapata!, noting that Zapata has "been a dream of mine since 1920, probably before you were born." Noting that while he is not familiar with the script, he knows that Steinbeck worked on it and that he would appreciate it if there was a possibility of Tobias acting in it. Listing the Zapata-related places he has visited in Mexico, and saying he would like to travel there again with Kazan, regardless of whether he acts in the film or not.
