Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard Salute Hollywood’s Favorite Maestro as ‘Music by John Williams’ Documentary Kicks Off AFI Fest


AFI Fest kicked off at the TCL Chinese with Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard introducing the documentary they co-produced, 'Music by John Williams.'

Although he admitted that Spielberg is “somebody who knows him far better than I do,” Howard may have briefly stolen the show when he noted that he and Williams both worked on the 1962 film “The Music Man” and spontaneously sang a stanza of “The Wells Fargo Wagon,” reprising his child-actor days.
