I have a lot of "Darling! " of Elizabeth
that I just love...

:13:05
in different outfits,
as she grew older through the film.

:13:09
I think Elizabeth was
so wonderful for the part...

:13:13
because one of the things
that she does best...

:13:17
is this haughty rich girl.
:13:20
To see this lush, green country
that she came from in Virginia...

:13:25
where she rode horses,
and she was the queen...

:13:29
and then to see this flower from the East...
:13:33
taken into the stark Texas countryside...
:13:38
where there was nothing
but dust and sagebrush and so forth.

:13:43
It was a wonderful contrast.
:13:46
I think she had some marvelous scenes
that she did very well.

:13:51
Although I feel that as an actress...
:13:54
Elizabeth really came into her own
a little bit later.

:13:59
It was a question of her, too,
not quite having the confidence.

:14:04
People used to say to her, "Use
your hands more. Move a little more."

:14:09
She didn't quite have the confidence
to do that.

:14:12
She had had that MGM training
where nothing moves...

:14:15
where you're just beautiful,
but you're very still.

:14:18
There was Elizabeth and there was Rock.
I think Rock felt...

:14:21
that was the best work
he'd ever done by far.

:14:24
I loved Rock Hudson.
I loved him as a person.

:14:27
He was a delicious human being,
kind, thoughtful...

:14:31
conscientious about his fellow workers.
:14:33
I used to visit the set occasionally
when he was working.

:14:37
I knew Rock, not well. I always liked him.
:14:40
But I thought, "Thank you, God."
:14:42
He's finally getting the opportunity
to share the talent he's always had...

:14:47
but never had the proper words,
script or lyrics to share with the public...

:14:52
to show them what he was
really capable of doing.

:14:54
I thank God that George Stevens saw that
in him and gave him that chance...

:14:59
because I think it's the best film
he ever did.
