His eye for detail is such that he would interrupt a sword fight sequence to adjust the fold of a cloak, or, if a natural rainstorm did not seem convincing enough, supplement it by hosing the actors with water. Far from complaining, the youthful cast seemed caught up in his energy. When Jon Finch was not starring as Macbeth, he would hop on a horse and ride...
