:40:02
I happen to like tall women.
:40:04
Everybody likes tall women.
:40:07
In fact, everyone's going to be
looking for a tall woman.
:40:10
Aside from complaining a lot, what have
your been doing with yourself lately?
:40:15
Oh, nothing much.
Picking up a ransom. That sort of thing.
:40:20
(Woman) While I was in Vienna,
:40:22
I was shooting a movie
called Crime and Passion
:40:24
for Ivan Passer with Omar Sharif.
:40:27
And I was offered two pictures.
:40:31
One was the W C Fields
biographical film
:40:36
and Hitchcock's film.
:40:39
And, of course,
there was no... choice.
:40:42
You know, working with Hitchcock
was going to be the thrill of a lifetime.
:40:46
But I wanted the other part.
(Chuckling)
:40:49
I wanted the Barbara Harris part,
I wanted to be the kind of clairvoyant
:40:53
who really wasn't all so clairvoyant.
:40:55
I imagined her. I thought she could have
a Southern accent and a low blouse.
:41:00
I had this whole idea
of what she should be like,
:41:02
and I thought it would be very funny.
:41:04
So I passed that along,
and Mr Hitchcock wouldn't hear of it.
:41:08
So I was very thrilled.
I came back to town to do Family Plot.
:41:12
Incompetent bastard. He blew it.
:41:14
Now, we'll have to eliminate
these two ourselves.
:41:18
- Ourselves?
- That's right.
:41:21
Tomorrow night.
Right after we return our guest.
:41:27
- Oh, I can't.
- You must!
:41:31
(Kazanjian)
Hitchcock wanted Bill Devane,
:41:33
but Bill Devane was not available.
:41:36
So, his second choice was Roy Thinnes,
:41:39
and we cast Roy Thinnes and began
shooting the picture with Roy.
:41:44
I believe it was five days or six days
after we were shooting with Roy
:41:49
that Mr Hitchcock found out that
:41:52
William Devane was available and so
he made the switch during production.
:41:56
Now, that meant we had to go back
and reshoot some of the material.
