:07:00
and would I go up and meet with him.
:07:04
l did that.
:07:06
He was charming, set me at my ease
:07:10
and then set up a test.
:07:13
He told me
what the character was like,
:07:16
and I selected a scene
from a play called Blind Alley,
:07:21
where I played a mad killer.
:07:23
And I did the scene.
:07:26
l was a very hyper theatre actor
at the time.
:07:31
And l understand that the test
was very melodramatic
:07:36
and overplayed, and big,
and the whole thing,
:07:41
but he saw something he wanted,
:07:44
and he cast me.
:07:45
(Whistle Blows)
:07:48
Here come the wolves.
:07:53
l remember the opening scene
of Saboteur.
:07:57
lt was, l think,
the first scene l played,
:08:00
actually, in continuity,
:08:02
and the first l played
with Bob Cummings.
:08:05
A lovely man.
:08:06
A delightful man ,
who was very kind to me.
:08:11
Uh-oh. Bottleneck.
Mr Roosevelt should hear of this.
:08:14
I'm sorry.
I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
:08:17
- My friend says he's sorry.
- OK.
:08:20
l was trying to establish
a very vivid character
:08:24
right at the start of this piece,
:08:26
because he disappears
:08:29
and doesn't appear
until the latter part of the picture.
:08:32
Fry.
:08:34
How do you know my name?
:08:36
What do you care
how I know your name?
:08:38
I saw it on one of those
envelopes you dropped.
:08:40
l wanted to make some kind
of strong statement
:08:43
so that they would
remember me all through.
:08:53
Hitchcock was such
a wonderful communicator.
:08:56
And he said what he wanted was,
:08:59
and he drew a sketch...
