- I liked "The True Glory" because it was made when I was in the army, by a crazy outfit known as the Anglo-American Film Unit, which had about 109 officers (from 2nd Lt. up to chicken Colonel), six sergeants and two, repeat two, private soldiers. I was the American private; Peter Ustinov was my British counterpart.
- A final word on directors: without mentioning names, I've met damned few who didn't have a top-sergeant's mentality combined with the sensitivity of a Port Said whore.
- I liked, and continue to like, Gordon Douglas. He considers the writer a fellow-craftsman and his attitude is: You know your business, buddy, and I know mine, so gimme what you've written and I'll shoot it. Gordon never expected to come up with a masterpiece every time, and as a result, he's turned out a lot of good pictures.
