I think it's always horrible
when any actor is dismissed or fired.
:42:04
I think it's worse when you're not fired
for any particular reason
:42:08
other than you were the second choice
:42:11
and the first choice is now available.
:42:14
I believe it was
that very same evening
:42:17
when Hitchcock was having dinner
:42:20
at Jack's restaurant in San Francisco
:42:24
that Roy Thinnes
walked up to his table
:42:28
and said something to the fact,
"You've dismissed me,"
:42:32
or, W hy did you dismiss me?"
or, "You did wrong."
:42:35
And he just stared him down,
and Hitchcock was speechless
:42:39
and in a very difficult situation
and didn't like being there.
:42:45
And they just looked at
each other for a long while,
:42:48
and then eventually Roy Thinnes left.
:42:52

:42:56
After Roy Thinnes left, we had to go
back to Grace Cathedral and shoot
:43:02
the one scene where
the bishop is kidnapped
:43:05
as well as other scenes
had to be retaken.
:43:08
Now, if there were
any shots in the sequence
:43:11
that didn't have Roy Thinnes in,
:43:13
then we only picked up those
shots to replace the actor.
:43:16
We didn't shoot - necessarily
shoot the entire scene over.
:43:22
(Devane) There's some shots
with Roy in the picture.
:43:24
Some of the longer shots
in San Francisco, actually,
:43:27
after the church sequence, when they
drag the body to the car, it's all Roy.
:43:34
I think I worked about six weeks on it,
out of a ten-week shoot.
:43:39
It was quite an experience cos you worked
9 to 5, like you were working in a bank.
:43:44
The trees are swaying
and the branches part!
:43:49
But there's no one there! Here.
:43:52
I see shadows falling!
The air's getting cold!
:43:54
The brightness dims. Goodbye, Henry.
:43:57
- Bye.
- (Devane) Hitch loved Barbara Harris.
