Personal Quote:

[Talking about working with actor Hugh Griffith] Hugh was a terrific guy, and he was in a number of big pictures, too, like "Tom Jones". But at the time (of filming "Cry of the Banshee"), he was an alcoholic, and a person would have to assist him on the set and make sure that he didn't receive any alcohol, otherwise he'd be drinking the whole time. A great shame. See more »
