:11:02
to she and Michael Wilding's house
for dinner...
:11:05
and have an evening of getting acquainted.
:11:07
"It's going to be a long time together,"
and so forth.
:11:10
It was very nice and very polite of her
to do so, and we did.
:11:15
And we had a wonderful time.
:11:17
And it was a very liquid evening.
:11:21
And several martinis later...
:11:24
suddenly we realize
it's 3:00 in the morning.
:11:27
And we have to get up and go to work
and shoot this wedding scene.
:11:32
Elizabeth had to get up, I guess, at 5:30.
:11:36
Girls don't have it as lucky as guys do.
:11:38
I had to get up around 6:30 or something.
:11:41
But we both were so dreadfully hung-over.
:11:45
We had to shoot this scene,
this highly emotional scene.
:11:48
Not a word to each other,
but just look at each other.
:11:54
Moony-faced.
:11:58
We shot the scene, and the hairdressers...
:12:01
and the wardrobe girls and everyone
were over there crying and carrying on.
:12:06
The truth is we were just so hung-over
that we couldn't do anything but just look.
:12:11
My father made A Place in the Sun...
:12:14
which was the first really mature role...
:12:18
that Elizabeth had played,
and that was a wonderful experience.
:12:22
And of course,
it was a great film and a great role for her.
:12:28
So when Giant came along...
:12:29
I think he knew
that he'd been to the well with her...
:12:33
and thought
that she would be good for this part.
:12:37
And she really did a wonderful job.
:12:40
Like Rock, she had to age 25 or 30 years...
:12:45
and go into territory
that she hadn't been before.
:12:49
I got some great pictures of Elizabeth.
:12:52
One favorite is in the movie film, but
I have some wonderful black-and-whites.
:12:58
She was always saying,
for me clowning, saying, "Darling! "
