3:26:01
It was wonderful.
3:26:02
- This was Peter Lorre's last film?
- Yeah. Yeah.

3:26:10
He called me "the face-maker".
3:26:13
"Call the face-maker.
I want to talk to him."

3:26:29
I don't think that Peter Lorre
was capable of acting

3:26:33
if he didn't have a cigarette
in his mouth or in his hand.

3:26:37
It's so nice to see him in a colour film.
He's always in black and white.

3:26:40
That's right. Starting with M.
3:26:46
They were an incredible cast.
3:26:48
They had the best fun doing it.
They had a wonderful time.

3:26:52
We had a party.
3:26:54
Any time Jerry Lewis made a movie,
and I know this to be a fact,

3:26:58
everybody couldn't wait
to be in the picture.

3:27:01
He treated everybody
like they were royalty.

3:27:05
So he was the best director to work for.
3:27:08
I made every actor feel
like they starred in the film

3:27:11
because I love actors
3:27:14
and what you get in return for that
is incredible.

3:27:17
I can remember days
3:27:19
where I would let the cast go
3:27:23
if I had a tough scene that I had
to work out with Ina, let's say.

3:27:28
And at one o'clock I would send
the balance of the cast home.

3:27:32
I would work with Ina up until five to six
3:27:35
and I'd look over at the edge of the set
and they're all sitting there.

3:27:39
They stayed, they wanted to watch.
3:27:42
I never had actors leave when they were
dismissed. They stayed to watch.

3:27:50
- It is a beautiful set, though.
- Yeah, it is.

3:27:53
- Be nice to have a place like that.
- Yeah, I stayed there a few nights.
