sound-stages when the actor wants to impose his will on everybody else in sight Weak directors usually give the actor his way Hitchcock looks at most actors with an attitude bordering on suspicion Writ Disney doesn't like an actor he Just tears him up" said Hitchcock seeming to prefer the method of handling temperamental stars Hitchcock is headquartered at Revue Studio a large film and
