first night

That first night after my doctor told me to cut back, I had only one glass of wine.

The arson attack took place on the first night of the Jewish holiday of Passover, and the family was hosting 15 overnight guests.

But on the very first night of filming—with Ms. Thompson, in the scene in which Marty McFly awakens in his underwear, in his mother’s bedroom, 30 years in the past, to discover that she is flirting with him—Mr. Fox played the scene so much better than Mr. Stoltz that the entire production breathed a sigh of relief.

Bob Gale, one of the film’s co-writers, tells Mr. Fox that his favorite moment of shooting was that first night.

What was it like to be in that room on his first night back after being suspended?
