Every single person on the picture, in the crew, was an actor. It makes a great difference. Actors really understand actors, and they’re really rooting for them. If something is very difficult for a performer, and the technicians are there, there’s pressure to get on with it; the technicians want to do their job. But if the technicians are actors, they’re not so concerned with being proficient in their technical responsibilities and they watch the performance, and they like it when it’s good. There were times when George Sims or somebody shooting a scene would be laughing so hard that the camera would shake. This didn’t make the actors feel bad; it made them feel good. It made them feel terrific. A man some- times is humorous with a certain person only because that person thinks he is funny. The minute that person doesn’t think he’s funny, there’s an edge taken off the humor. The same way a woman thinks a man is attractive, or a man thinks a woman is attractive. The minute that doesn’t any longer exist, there is a certain area of their relationship that’s cut off. The people that are watching the actual filming and participating in it from the outside are the third character, and they have a definite effect on these performers.
