Scorsese attended NYU during the early 1960's receiving a B.A degree and then receiving his M.F.A degree in Film in 1968, the year his first Feature Film, WHO'S THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR was released...co- produced by Manoogian. Earlier NYU films made by Scorsese as an undergraduate NYU student included, WHAT'S A NICE GIRL LIKE YOU DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS? (1963), IT'S NOT JUST YOU, MURRAY! (1964), and THE BIG SHAVE (1967).
Martin Scorsese has many times stated how greatly inspired and influenced he was in his early days by film professor Haig P. Manoogian.
