:06:01
and we will squeeze
the juice down our throats."
:06:05
(Cronyn Laughs) Then he...
:06:07
he went on to say, "We'll mess around
with make-up, put grey in your hair."
:06:13
"Maybe you should wear glasses."
:06:15
Then he said,
"What are you going to do?"
:06:18
Are you going to stay in California,
or are you going back to New York?"
:06:22
What?"
:06:25
There was no talk
about my being too young,
:06:28
no talk about yes or no,
:06:31
no maybes or W e'll let you know".
:06:35
It seemed that I had this part.
:06:40
Sure enough, I did.
:06:47
(O'Connell)
So my father went up to Santa Rosa,
:06:50
which was then a sleepy little town,
:06:53
to look for places to shoot.
:06:56
(Man) Hitchcock was very interested
in good food and wine.
:07:00
He had been up in that area,
there in the Napa Valley,
:07:04
checking out
the wine lists of the country.
:07:07
So I think Santa Rosa
was an area that he knew.
:07:11
Today it's a large city, really.
:07:14
It's big now.
:07:16
But in those days it was
a sleepy little village
:07:19
with a courthouse, a library.
:07:21
The library doesn't exist any more.
:07:23
I think the courthouse
is now a modern building.
:07:26
But this was an old-fashioned town.
:07:30
It was the kind of a town
that didn't say where it was.
:07:34
It was American.
:07:35
It could have been in the middle West.
:07:38
It could even have been in the East.
:07:40
In those days
it spelled America more than any town,
:07:44
and I think that appealed to Hitch,
:07:46
who hadn't been in America very long.
:07:49
He was now interested in exploring it
:07:52
and trying to get
the essence of American life,
:07:57
small-town, innocent life.
