Denis Lawson, who played the tailor’s apprentice, had several key scenes with the film’s lead stars. He remembers that the shoot in France wasn’t a happy one. “Ralph Richardson was lovely and charming,” says Lawson now. “As was Richard Chamberlain. But Patrick McGoohan - he was crazy! He made life difficult. Mike Newell’s (the director who went on to make Four Weddings and a Funeral) job was made very difficult by Pat.” |
