Don't know about Hyams, but I think you're too generous to Kubrick in suggesting he's easy to work with. He is one of the movie industry's biggest perfectionists, and probably holds the record for average number of takes required per finished scene. His insistance on getting an exact transcription of his personal vision on the screen is probably what has allowed him to make great films with some mediocre actors (Keir Dullea, Ryan O'Neil, Marissa Berensen [sp?]), but it has also given him a reputation for being dictatorial. He tends to treat actors as automatons to be programmed. - From the Crow's Nest - Kenn Barry NASA-Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USENET: {ihnp4,vortex,dual,hao,menlo70,hplabs}!ames!barry SOURCE: ST7891
