:57:00
And one of the main characters
was an actor named John Lehne.
:57:03
And there was a scene in the jewellery
store near the end of the film where
:57:07
he actually comes in looking for me.
:57:09
And so John and I
designed this little beat
:57:12
where I pick lint off his jacket.
:57:14
I'm flattered.
:57:16
Which, to me, is a really,
like, charged moment.
:57:20
When we shot the scene,
:57:23
the cameraman leaned over
and said something to Hitch.
:57:26
And then, Hitch came over to me,
and he said, "Don't do that."
:57:29
I said, W hat's the matter with it?"
He said, "It's just not clear."
:57:33
I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr Adamson.
:57:36
There are two gentlemen to see you
from the police department.
:57:39
(Devane) So we shoot the scene,
and Hitch never looked at film dailies.
:57:43
He stacked it all up. When it was
all over, he watched it all.
:57:47
Then he went back
and did what he wanted to do.
:57:49
What so happened
in that particular scene -
:57:52
He hated the background
in the jewellery store.
:57:54
Might've been all crystal,
or it was all silver.
:57:56
Whatever it was, he didn't like it.
So he wanted to reshoot that scene.
:57:59
So, of course,
John and I were friends.
:58:02
We got back there.
Got the costumes, the whole thing.
:58:04
We're standing around.
I looked at him. He looked at me.
:58:07
And I said, "Let's do it."
:58:09
We play the scene again.
We do the little pick-the-lint-off thing.
:58:13
Hitch never put it together, you know.
:58:16
It got in the film, and it's
my favourite beat in the movie.
:58:18
(Man) I'm talking too much. Perhaps
it's because you're not talking at all.
:58:23
(Black) The scene in the kitchen
was very difficult
:58:26
to do for an actor because
it was a scene in which
:58:29
you started the scene and 30 or 40
seconds into the scene, you wept.
:58:32
That's hard to do because usually
you're prepared, and then they shoot.
:58:36
Then you can cry rather easily.
So this was very difficult.
:58:40
(Woman) Keep both diamonds all
to yourself, if you'll just end it.
:58:44
(Black) They shot it twice,
and the second time, it was very good.
:58:48
I cried just when I should have,
and I thought it was wonderful.
:58:52
But he printed only the first one,
and I went to find him.
:58:55
He was sitting sort of near the kitchen
turned away from the camera.
:58:59
And I said, "Mr Hitchcock, please, I was
so much better in the second take."
