and stained, and look lived in.
:36:05
When you take a Hollywood company...
:36:09
into a town, a small town...
:36:12
they can be very put off by that company.
:36:15
Not Marfa.
:36:18
The first night, they said,
"Do you want to go see the rushes?"
:36:22
I said, "Sure."
:36:24
We went to the old theater.
It's no longer there. It burned down.
:36:28
This old theater.
They were running hours and hours...
:36:32
of the barbecue...
:36:34
and they used all these people
from Marfa in the barbecue as extras.
:36:39
It seemed forever.
So much footage of just cattle.
:36:43
Elizabeth and Rock sitting
on their horses watching cattle.
:36:47
It seemed to me
the entire town had turned out...
:36:50
and was sitting in that theater.
It was packed. You couldn't get a seat.
:36:53
That was so smart of George to do that.
:36:56
He made the town feel like they were
really in on the joke...
:37:00
that they were a part of this movie.
:37:03
The entire time we were there,
that's the kind of reception we got.
:37:07
People felt like they were a part
of the company.
:37:10
They never resented us being there at all.
:37:13
It was a dusty, one-horse town,
a one-street town.
:37:19
I don't know what Marfa is today.
:37:21
It's probably a metropolitan area.
I don't know.
:37:26
Everybody wore blue jeans and so forth.
:37:30
Elizabeth would arrive
when everybody else had finished eating.
:37:36
My mouth used to just drop open...
:37:38
every night, because she would show up
in the most glamorous wardrobe...
:37:43
for this rather dingy dining room.
:37:46
She'd have on
white chiffon with sparkles...
:37:49
or she'd have on black chiffon
with ermine tails.
:37:53
Every night, as long as we were there...
:37:56
and we were there a couple of months...
:37:58
she had a different dress on
every night, different jewelry.
