This only reminded her friends of her constant complaints. "Portman was just a red herring," said one Hayes intimate. "The trouble was between Kim and Helen." Old Pro Hayes was sorely tried by the Method in Kim's acting. "I don't feel like being touched tonight," said Kim before one performance, and so a tender mother-and-daughter scene was played without a caress. Another time, Helen Hayes was quoted as saying, "I got two elbows down my throat from the girl...
Hammer's exports have also raised British blood pressure. "I feel inclined to apologize to all decent Americans for sending them work in such sickening bad taste," wrote the London Observer's Critic C. A. Lejeune after seeing Hammer's Curse of Frankenstein.

Chandler came late (44) to his fiction career, but his imagistic style put brassy, sassy dialogue in the corners of some sizable Hollywood mouths,* set a standard few could imitate: "She gave me a smile I could feel in my hip pocket." The lady had a voice "that dragged itself out of her throat like a sick man getting out of bed." Dinner "tasted like a discarded mailbag." Since Detective Marlowe was acceptable to brows of every altitude, including snobbish Critic Edmund (Axel's Castle) Wilson, even parboiled...
