RealMedia: see a talk with Director of the Film, Martin Scorcese and a young Jodie Foster


Taxi Driver

New York cabby Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) is an insomniac Vietnam veteran who works the nightshift.

He�s terribly alone and becomes infatuated with a dull blonde Betsy (Cybill Shepherd) who agrees to go on a date but then rejects him when he mistakenly takes her to see a porn movie.

He imagines his destiny is to save a teenage hooker Iris (Jodie Foster) from her pimp. [see Director of the film, Martin Scorsese and a young Jodie Foster]
