Several other versions on YT but all blurred. This is an extract from a Making Of video on YT with the segment sharpened and upscaled to HD format.

@13ip0lar

I updated the description text to respect that.

Well if I cried watching the audition, Bo wonder I hawked throughout the actual movie!

What a terrific actor he was and still is!

So it wasn't just Spielberg cranking things up. They were all at it, even the ten year old star.

DAMN HE'S GOOD.

@TheBrooklynUSA

I hear he fluffed the first audition. This time round he ran off down the road with it :-)

DON'T LET HIM TAKE ET, ELLIOT!! HE'S NOT FROM THE GOVERNMENT - HE'S CLEARLY AGENT SMITH...!!!

@ryanmary110307 He was recently in Dear John last year and played an excellent character - probably best actor of the whole movie!

[MelissaLovesMakeup89]

@1415w Definately! The scene where ET is in the hospital and doctors are using a defribulator on him and you see little Gertie jump in surprise and cry was actually Drew Barrymore's reaction to the moment. Watching it again after knowing it was her real reaction makes me even sadder!

The guy reading with him SUCKS!
