In his first year as a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert attended the 1967 Chicago Film Festival, where he wrote a glowing review for a little movie named I Call First, the debut feature from one Martin Scorsese. Over the next forty years, Ebert would remain Scorsese's greatest champion. This video essay examines the relationship between the men, how it evolved from a professional connection to a genuine friendship, and how Ebert "got" Scorsese with unique insight.
