Filming the ballroom scene at Tregaron, he barked his guttural directions from the camera boom. "Stop talkink!" he screamed at the milling mob, which included Washington's Senator Henry ("Scoop"') Jackson and Washington Hostess Gwen Cafritz. When a waiter looked at the camera, he thumbed him "Oudt! Und keep valkink!" When another smiled, Preminger tossed him oudt too. A magazine photographer got in the way, and Preminger fumed. "But I'm from Look!'' cried the lensman. Stormed the Director: "You LOOK! Get oudt...

When the wife and her lover strangle her little nephew (so that she may inherit her late husband's business), the walls of the house are suddenly shaken fiercely; windows rattle and icons tremble.

Could this be the real thing? Not exactly. In the middle of the armed mob was old Veni Vidi Video himself-Jack Paar...
...number of attacks against policemen. In Los Angeles, where such assaults have almost tripled in recent years, some 300 cop fighters were prosecuted in the past year; their weapons ranged from nail-studded boards to soggy garbage and (in a home for delinquent girls) bedpans.
