Rob Reiner's first film, "This is Spinal Tap," now a cult classic, almost didn't get made. He faced multiple rejections. One executive watched his demo reel and said, “No. Not this. No, we don’t want this.” Norman Lear, creator and producer of “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons,” finally gave Reiner a shot. “He’s so crazy,” Lear told his executive team after Reiner delivered what he now calls “an insane pitch.” #robreiner #spinaltap #mockumentary #filmmaker #thisisspinaltap
