1. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Murray, actor:
"He was a tough nut, Gene Hackman, but he was really good and he was really difficult. Like, we can say it now, but he was a tough guy because like older, great actors do not give young directors much of a chance. They just they’re really rough on ’em. And Gene was really rough on Wes, and I used to I used to kind of step in there and just, you know, try to defend my friend (dissolve) I watched him once to like 25 takes where he did it perfectly with an actor who kept blowing it every single time. Big, long camera move, panning, all this stuff. Gene would do it perfectly. The other actor would blow it and I’d go like, ‘Oh God.’ I was watching it, going, ‘No wonder this guy wants to throttle people’. And then he sort of gave just a sort of an ordinary performance and the other actor got it right, and I thought Gene was gonna throw the guy off the ledge of the building, so he was a great one. He was a great actor."
PRODUCTION: John Carucci
