“Filming Was A Peculiar experience. Between Passionate Love Scenes With A Man Old Enough To Be My

“Filming was a peculiar experience. Between passionate love scenes with a man old enough to be my father, I had to fit in three hours of lessons before three in the afternoon, otherwise production would be closed down for the day (as I was sixteen). The entire film was wired to my ABC’s. I nearly went crazy. Some afternoons, my teacher would walk out on the set, grab me out of Robert Taylor’s arms, and say, ‘Sorry, Elizabeth hasn’t finished her schoolwork. ‘And then she’d lug me off to the little schoolroom created especially for me and we’d start on social studies or geometry.”
