:12:00
sans belfry, sans roof,
:12:02
sans ceiling, and especially,
:12:06
sans warmth.
:12:07
It is hard to believe
:12:09
that the whole church interior
was shot in half a gale.

:12:12
It was as cold as Christmas.
:12:14
When making close-ups
of Hamish, Finlay and John,

:12:18
we had to place oil stoves
all around them

:12:22
to warm their patch of glacial air
so that their breath should not show.

:12:25
Alastair, Bobby Isbister and Sid
worked the reflectors,

:12:29
roosting on the rafters
in the full force of the wind.

:12:32
They had to nail
their reflectors down.

:12:35
Themselves,
they froze to their seats.

:12:38
The orange cellophane
on the doors and windows

:12:40
crackled like a bush fire
as the gusts caught it.

:12:44
The clouds sailed over
at such a pace

:12:47
that we never had more
than two minutes of sunlight.

:12:50
On three days,
we had to drop everything,

:12:52
all rush out and make fast tarpaulins
before a squall hit us.

:12:56
The actors were beyond all praise.
:12:59
They had to be ready,
like racehorses,

:13:02
to get off to a quick start,
:13:04
and cram as much action
into a short period as possible.

:13:10
(Dialogue) Some of us,
at certain times

:13:12
have been inclined
to limit the power of the gospel

:13:15
by supposing
that only certain sinners...

:13:20
...by supposing that only certain
sinners obtain the grace of God.

:13:31
Grand sermon, John.
:13:33
One hour and 15 minutes. Let them
beat that in Edinburgh if they can.

:13:37
And mind ye,
every sentence sound theology.
