| Trivia | One day, the crew was being lackadaisical about clearing traffic for a shot. Director Charles Gale through an all out tantrum and later he said "I'm not angry. A director needs to throw one good tantrum to get everyone in line. Just watch. I won't have to do that again for the rest of the shoot." From then everyone was on task because they didn't want to see him blow up again. See more » |
