:10:02
playing cards, gin rummy.
:10:05
(O'Connell) I remember they had
a gin rummy tournament on the picture
:10:09
and they wanted my father to play.
:10:12
He says, "I've never played gin rummy,"
so they taught himhow to play
:10:15
and he won
the whole tournament. (Laughs)
:10:20
(Wright) There was a very funny time
:10:22
when we were all
brought into San Francisco
:10:25
where there was going to be
a Chinese gourmet dinner.
:10:28
The most famous dish
that was passed around to look at
:10:33
was a hundred-year-old egg.
:10:35
Joe was sitting beside me,
:10:37
and he's capable of
saying the most terrible things
:10:40
while smiling and looking charming.
:10:42
And I was just
doubled up the whole time
:10:46
between listening to this lady who was
giving a lecture about the egg
:10:50
and at the same time listening to Joe
making his snide comments about it.
:10:54
It was a very funny scene.
:10:56
I'm surprised
that Hitch never used it in a film.
:11:01
I remember the crowds
who came to watch the shooting
:11:04
and how very well behaved they were.
:11:07
Uh, I mean, when
the assistant director shouted, "Quiet"
:11:11
it was quiet.
:11:13
I remember, one incident,
:11:15
we were shooting
out on the street somewhere or other,
:11:18
and this was all absolutely new to me.
:11:21
A girl of about 12 or 1 4,
something like that,
:11:25
came running up to me
with an autograph book and said,
:11:28
"Sign this, please."
:11:30
So I signed
my very first autograph as a film actor.
:11:36
And she looked at it and...
:11:39
"Now hurry up and get famous!"
:11:41
(Chuckling) I never forgot that.
:11:46
(Wright) The idea was
to do the entire film up there,
:11:47
and we did the entire film up there.
:11:50
Then, unfortunately, some things
had to be re-done on a set.
:11:53
So then, after having done it
economically, I'm sure, up there,
:11:58
they then had to spend the money
to build a like set in Hollywood.
