"What a piece-of-shit movie! Very early in my career, right, this guy hires me and his idea of making a movie and making money is you give John Huston a hundred thousand to come in for three days. Mel Ferrer the same thing, fifty thousand for a day, spread the money out like that right? So they all come in and they do it. And then when I see the movie, I'm on 42nd Street the first night it opens. And this black guy from the balcony goes, "Oh, motherfucker, I want my money back!" It was the worst movie I'd ever seen. My favourite thing was John Huston - we did a scene together and John Huston said, "Just so that we don't have to loop it Lance, let's just say the lines over again just for sound." He says to sound, "Roll it!" And he points at me like to go and I just stood there looking at him. And he goes "What's the matter?" I'd just gotten my first direction from John Huston! I couldn't fucking do anything! That was the best thing about being in that movie, hanging out with John Huston.
