:45:02
"I want it no city."
:45:05
And he never gave me
an explanation for that.
:45:07
But it was a challenge to change it
so that it became a nondescript city.
:45:11
We shot in San Francisco,
we shot a great deal on the stages,
:45:14
but it was nondescript.
:45:16
The first day, I was supposed to
meet Mr Hitchcock up in his office
:45:20
and show him the costumes
for the film.
:45:23
Except that I wasn't wearing
the costume, I was carrying it.
:45:27
And, of course,
in the '70s, you had layers.
:45:31
So, I sort of had a big black hat on
and I had a little suit.
:45:33
And then under the suit was something
and something with something else.
:45:36
So I met him and I said,
"This isn't the costume for the movie."
:45:39
"This is just what I was wearing."
:45:41
He said,
(Imitating Hitchcock) "Oh, thank God."
:45:44
"I thought this was going to be a movie
about a nightmare." (Chuckles)
:45:49
(Devane) I grew up watching him
on television
:45:52
introducing his television show
every week.
:45:55
And the first day I went to the set
they were shooting blue screen.
:45:58
I came out of the theatre,
so I had not done any movies,
:46:01
and I had never seen
the process before.
:46:03
So, there was this car
and a big screen behind it
:46:08
and the camera being set up
and everything in front of it,
:46:10
and Hitch just kind of
seemed to be killing time.
:46:14
And it went on and on,
and we waited and waited.
:46:16
I couldn't figure out
what the hell they were waiting for.
:46:18
Then, finally, his secretary
brought out a little wooden box.
:46:23
And she set the wooden box
on top of the... the hood of the car.
:46:27
I was standing to the side, and Hitch
was standing right in front of the car.
:46:31
And they brought out a telephone,
and everybody just kind of stood there,
:46:35
and I wondered
what the hell was going on.
:46:37
And then the phone rang.
:46:39
He picked up and phone,
and he said, "Yes."
:46:42
He said, "Right away," or whatever.
:46:45
And he set the phone in the box.
:46:48
And he picked up a little,
like, microphone,
:46:51
and he ripped open his shirt.
:46:54
And he put the microphone
on his pacemaker,
:46:57
and what they were doing was
checking his battery in his pacemaker.
