kuic obviously is a director of tremendous dedication to his art and to the cinema and also a man of great autonomy nobody tells kuic what to do he just makes his film the way he wants to obviously this is the way that stroheim and Wells and chaplain work too great masterpieces can be made that way but also at times great disasters and kuic is a man that is not easy to work with and is known to work by the method of perhaps making his own mistakes and correcting them rather than trying to avoid those mistakes in the first place but since we have with us today Mr McDow who's worked with him throughout the entire production of claror orent as the star I'd like to ask you Mr mcdowd if you have any um comment to make on kik's working methods with you whether there was great friction how the role was interpreted well I I have to disagree on one point that he is not difficult to work with um I don't know where you got that from maybe other actors have found him difficult I certainly didn't find him difficult to work with um this was a Monumental film MH and a Monumental part Alex um oh it's impossible to say how it was done I mean perhaps I should have said rigid rather than difficult in other words he has his own fixed ideas and is not prone to take too many suggestions or if I'm wrong please correct me I'll have to because that is wrong um Stanley why he's such a great director for me anyway is that he can create the atmosphere for Creative work which is very important I mean he takes an awful lot from his actors he has to his method of working is not um to give you directions like you come in you go from A to B and you sit down and you talk um that would be impossible to do a film in that way um totally impossible uh his method is that we come in at 7:00 in the morning and we rehearse rehearse rehearse rehearse until we get the scene right and by um saying rehearse I mean that everybody is there to throw in ideas um for instance um a scene in the film uh where Alex and his three DRS come in and rape uh a writer's wife and beat the writer up um we arrived at the set looked at the bear walls for 3 Days um we rehearsed various bits of the script that we had which weren't good enough I mean it just didn't wasn't working for us and so um on the third day Stanley said to me um can you dance and I said yes why not you know I mean I'm not a dancer but I went into a sort of uh soft shoe number and started to um [Music] hum and then started to sing singing in the rain because um subconsciously I remembered that scene in the Jean Kelly film as being one of the happiest scenes I'd ever seen on the film and it was was right for the moment uh and cubric took this immediately within 3 hours he had the rights of the song so I mean he's not rigid in any sense he's very elastic when he's working and he may be rigid afterwards or before on the technical side of filming and on the distribution and the advertising Etc but certainly when he's working in a creative way I mean that's when you're actually making the film and that's the only important thing you know I mean it's no good uh having a great great distribution set up if you got no film of course and uh he certainly is uh he's not rigid well it's a I'm glad to be so informed
