Ronald Neame, legendary British filmmaker and director of such films as "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," "Tunes of Glory," "The Horse's Mouth" and "The Poseidon Adventure," tells an interesting story about directing Dame Edith Evans, the great English actress.
He said Evans complained about too much dialog without something to "take the weight off the lines." For Neame is it was an "ah-hah" moment.
This story is in "Ronald Neame on the Director," a master class for anyone wanting to make movies or who enjoys motion picture lore. The story joins others on legendary directors and stars, including David Lean, Alec Guinness and Noรซl Coward. Neame closes with the heartbreaking story of directing Judy Garland on her last film.
