I watch the scene where Gene Tierney has her first meal at Dragonwyck with Vincent Price, the man she is to fall in love with, and with the hero’s greedy wife played by Vivienne Osborne. This picture is the first directorial try for Joseph Mankiewicz who's been a writer and a producer but never a director before. Mankiewicz looks at me reproachfully. ‘‘A fine time to visit us,” he says. “Do you know this is the first day? My spine is curling.” Nevertheless, he go»s at things in a business-like way and the take he finally okays obviously is the best of the lot. “Cut!” he says. "Okay, folks, that’s all until after lunch.” The actors get up from the movie dinner table and head for the studio commissary to eat a real meal. All except Gene Tierney who eats in her dressing room. “I’m going to my office,” says Mankiewicz. “Aren’t you eating any lunch? I BSR. “Yes,” he says. "Humble pie!"

Also they are wearing the huge mustaches affected by the boys up there. “Tell him what you did, Olivia, says Director Sidney Lanfield. “Oh,” Olivia tells me, “I made such a fool of myself. I saw two of these boys in the studio street. I didn’t realize they were actors. I thought they really were from the Aleutians. I rushed up and introduced myself and told them Id been up there on a USO tour, and asked them where they were stationed. They finally had to break out laughing and I never felt so I'./.lieV, in mV life!" ... Jt.
