Extract

Another person with problems is Alfred Hitchcock, who is never called anything but "Producer/Director." Mr. Hitchcock noticed a certain amount of coughing and throat‑clearing on sets where he was producing "Notorious." Soon the word got around that he had become addicted to cough drops, buying at least six packets of them a day. Press agents were able to determine that it was not he who was gobbling them down. He gave them to the troublesome coughers on his sets.

ONE of Mr. Hitchcock's Hollywood pet perplexities concerned the rule that no kiss may last longer on the screen than a certain number of seconds. Mr. Hitchcock suspected that the allowed time would not be enough for a kiss between Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, so he went the limit in direct photography, then showed how the thing looked as reflected in a bottle and in a pool of water, to get in the needed overtime. Hitchcock found this satisfactory. So, it is to be hoped, did Grant.

About those bad‑tempered mocking birds: one of them snatched some hairs from the tail of a horse Cary Grant was riding, and the horse got pretty upset, but Cary didn't.
