Paramount hired actress Margaret Livingstone to dub her dialogue, and Brooks had sassed herself onto a blacklist. She had often expressed her contempt for Hollywood, and soon the town would return that sour flavor. She was always a handful, making enemies of the showgirls she worked with and, I suspect, having little control over the booze she loved.

Gurr is speaking about toughening up the idea of compassion, his words punching through the chill wind of a bloody-minded Melbourne spring.
