PHILIPPE ROUSSELOT:
Well, this is the first thing I ever caught in a river. I would like to thank Mr. Robert Redford. He took a little Frenchman to film this very American story and gave me the chance to have my tiny, tiny, little, little moment and share of the great American culture. And I would like to thank all the cast and crew of "River" for not only a wonderful work, but also for the most marvelous welcome in this country. Thank you to all of you. Thank you very much.
