and Bud Westmore made it his business
to get newspapers from cities she visited.

1:09:06
He discovered she was being credited
as the designer of the creature,

1:09:09
and he made it known that he wouldn't
use her as a sketch artist any more.

1:09:13
The suits at Universal tried to make
Westmore see that she herself

1:09:16
did everything possible to credit
him, and if there was any blame,

1:09:19
it was Universal's fault
or the newspapers' fault.

1:09:22
One executive, who was exchanging
memos with another executive, wrote

1:09:27
"It would be most unfair
if Westmore discontinued

1:09:29
using the services of Patrick
as a result of his pique."

1:09:32
"We haven't had a more cooperative
person on tour than Miss Patrick."

1:09:36
"In every interview, she made it clear
she worked for Bud Westmore."

1:09:39
"She plugged him as head of make-up,
and followed the instructions we gave."

1:09:44
"Patrick conducted herself beyond any
criticism from any point of view."

1:09:48
I've got a copy of Patrick's résumé,
and unfortunately,

1:09:51
it doesn't look like she ever worked
as a sketch artist at Universal again.

1:10:12
This is supposed to be dramatic. Julie
Adams is so glad Richard Carlson is safe,

1:10:16
but it's so obvious she doesn't wanna get
wet, I'm sure because the water was cold.

1:10:21
It was cold at night. Denning remembers
shooting in the lake one October night.

1:10:25
They were out in the water
and they were tired,

1:10:27
and a prop man brought them brandy
to keep them from freezing to death.

1:10:31
"It worked great
and we were going fine,

1:10:33
then we wrap it up and go
to the dressing rooms."

1:10:36
"They're warm, and all of a sudden..." -
Denning starts slurring his words -

1:10:40
"that brandy hit us like a sledgehammer."
1:10:42
"But out in the cold and the wet
and wind, it didn't bother us at all."

1:10:46
Ricou Browning had
the same thing happen.

1:10:48
Everybody was trying to be nice,
kept bringing him brandy,

1:10:51
and pretty soon,
they had a drunken creature.

1:10:53
So Ricou figured he'd better cut that out.
1:10:58
I think the idea of a drunken
creature is kinda cute.
