Description

I'm a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick's work. I remembered this conversational anecdote from the set of Spartacus from Tony Curtis. I wanted to make it believable and see how it worked as a clip from an audio book.

I want you to go up there and tell him that on the cherries and the handkerchief signal from you, he's got to move.

Marshall turned around and walked slowly back down the hill, just looking at his feet and took another three minutes he walked straight up to kubrick and says, it's a ******* dummy kubrick displayed no surprise or regret and gave a calm reply like, oh then put on wires and wiggle it
