--> 00:00:47,881 I ** a director of Spanish origin, as people say in France. 5 00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:53,095 I have done most of my films outside of Spain. 6 00:00:54,096 --> 00:00:59,059 I have been making movies for a long time 7 00:00:59,685 --> 00:01:05,524 which means that I have made movies throughout General Franco's regime. 8 00:01:09,111 --> 00:01:12,489 As a director, I have made movies just about everywhere 9 00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:21,039 in England, France, Germany, Italy, the United States 10 00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:26,712 sometimes under various aliases. 11 00:01:29,256 --> 00:01:31,633 Hello, my name is Lina Romay. 12 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,011 I ** an actress, originally from Spain. 13 00:01:36,013 --> 00:01:42,227 I have been in quite a few movies, not especially in Spain and maybe this is 14 00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:46,690 the reason why you haven't heard much about me. 15 00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,610 I too have worked under different aliases. 16 00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:55,407 I ** very happy to be watching this film. 17 00:02:00,412 --> 00:02:04,041 So then, what can I tell you? 18 00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:08,629 You are seeing the first images, here under the credits. 19 00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:21,058 I made this movie about twelve, fourteen years ago, right? 20 00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:22,601 Yes, approximately. 21 00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:26,480 We shot the film in Paris. 22 00:02:27,606 --> 00:02:30,984 It's a French film. 23 00:02:31,276 --> 00:02:35,572 It is not a Spanish co-production. 24 00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:48,335 The producer was Mr. Rene Chéateau who wrote the script. 25 00:02:49,044 --> 00:02:54,841 He was credited as Fred Castle, scriptwriter 26 00:02:54,966 --> 00:02:58,261 but he is the same person, Mr. Rene Chéateau. 27 00:03:02,057 --> 00:03:13,527 We shot the film in Paris in six weeks, also in the suburbs of Paris. 28 00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:19,449 And in the middle of the winter. 29 00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:23,328 As you can see it's Christmas in Paris. 30 00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:36,174 That's because it was really Christmas when we shot the film. 31 00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:42,264 I had a great cast for this film. 32 00:03:44,766 --> 00:03:47,644 As you can see, the actors are well known, 33 00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:51,398 really great people, 34 00:03:55,819 --> 00:04:00,574 We also had a large crew, something that I don't usually have. 35 00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:02,951 There were even some technicians whom I did not know. 36 00:04:04,661 --> 00:04:13,086 And I would see people on the set, that I didn't even know. 37 00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:20,594 Because René Chateau didn't want to have a big production 38 00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:24,431 because he was used to it at the time 39 00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:26,933 when he was in partnership with Jean-Paul Belmondo 40 00:04:27,184 --> 00:04:31,563 and he made huge budget films with him 41 00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:38,028 he made big movies with Henri Verneuil or directors of that caliber. 42 00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:44,326 His films were commercial films, but they were well made. 43 00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:49,039 And so I decided to make this a smaller production because 44 00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:52,417 it put me more at ease. 45 00:04:52,417 --> 00:04:57,130 I like it when I know everyone is the film, and what everyone does. 46 00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:59,633 But that was not the case here. 47 00:05:00,717 --> 00:05:06,515 What is more, René was very nervous during the shoot. 48 00:05:06,515 --> 00:05:09,059 It was his first time as a solo producer. 49 00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:14,147 And so he was full of doubts, he could not sleep. 50 00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:17,192 He would call in the middle of the night to tell me 51 00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:25,992 let's fire this guy, let's change that, etc. He was really hysterical. 52 00:05:26,618 --> 00:05:35,043 But in spite of all this, the film turned out quite well. 53 00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:43,134 For example, the director of photography did a superb job. 54 00:05:45,303 --> 00:05:48,056 Maurice Fellous is a great director of photography 55 00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:51,685 he was also very nervous 56 00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:55,146 yet he was very logical and very good. 57 00:05:56,606 --> 00:05:59,776 The crew was all very, very good. 58 00:06:01,444 --> 00:06:07,284 The only problem was that, with René being anxious 59 00:06:08,952 --> 00:06:13,582 we changed technicians, almost every week, 60 00:06:14,833 --> 00:06:19,880 but other than that, most of the team did not change. 61 00:06:21,006 --> 00:06:24,467 The composer was Mr. Romano Musumarra 62 00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:30,599 an Italian composer who has written pop themes 63 00:06:30,849 --> 00:06:36,396 who was going to write the rest of the soundtrack. 64 00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:43,612 However, when he saw a first edit of the film 65 00:06:43,987 --> 00:06:53,371 he was afraid because he thought it was a horrible film, dreadful 66 00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:56,499 he could not even look at the screen. 67 00:06:57,083 --> 00:07:00,170 And so he decided, finally, together we decided 68 00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:05,133 that we would keep his songs, his pop music 69 00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:10,138 but for the rest of the soundtrack 70 00:07:11,306 --> 00:07:16,394 Daniel White and I would write our own music 71 00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:24,319 mostly for the dramatic and horror scenes. 72 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,203 Nevertheless, I ** not 100% happy at how the film turned out 73 00:07:34,955 --> 00:07:41,628 I think we spent too much for some things and not enough for others. 74 00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:46,967 At the beginning, the special effects were fine 75 00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:50,553 but Rene Chéateau wanted to prepare them as we were shooting. 76 00:07:51,179 --> 00:07:53,890 I was used to the American way of doing things 77 00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:58,770 which is to shoot the movie first, and then 78 00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:06,861 to create all the effects in a studio after. 79 00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:14,786 But he was afraid that the special effects would not match the sequences. 80 00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:19,207 And so we lost a lot of time 81 00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:22,877 and even the quality suffered 82 00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:28,591 because if they go out, if the special effects men work in their studio 83 00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:32,262 they have all the elements all the things that they need to do a good job. 84 00:08:32,971 --> 00:08:39,019 But if they have to work on location, where the film is being shot 85 00:08:39,019 --> 00:08:41,354 and most of the time we were in real settings, real places 86 00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:44,357 it's not the same for them. 87 00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:47,902 But it was fine as far as I was concerned. 88 00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:53,408 I did not mind going along with what René Chateau wanted to do. 89 00:08:54,409 --> 00:08:57,787 [LINA] But if there's a tiny problem, even something small 90 00:08:58,079 --> 00:08:59,998 you have to stop shooting and that's it! 91 00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:07,672 They do not have all the equipment they need to do it, to make corrections. 92 00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:13,720 [JESS] As far as I ** concerned, after all these years 93 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,722 I like this film a bit more. 94 00:09:15,722 --> 00:09:17,932 I detested it when I finished making it 95 00:09:19,309 --> 00:09:22,896 because of all these irritations, these problems. 96 00:09:23,772 --> 00:09:27,442 I didn't do the editing. 97 00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:31,654 I was there because I wanted to be there 98 00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:34,783 and René Chéateau did not want me to be there 99 00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:40,121 maybe he wanted to direct the editing himself. 100 00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:50,632 I believe the end result is quite good; it lacks originality 101 00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:54,177 it's not particularly classy, but 102 00:09:54,344 --> 00:10:00,350 it is professionally well-made, sturdy. 103 00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:03,061 That's really all I can tell you. 104 00:10:04,062 --> 00:10:08,983 [INT] Could you tell me a little about the actors in this movie 105 00:10:09,234 --> 00:10:14,572 the stars such as Helmut Berger, Brigitte Lahaie and others? 106 00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:27,085 [JESS] Well, René and I made the decisions; 107 00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:30,463 First we discussed them 108 00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:35,009 because he wanted some actors that maybe I did not want, etc. 109 00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:41,349 But in principle, we agreed very easily about the leading actors because 110 00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:42,559 for example 111 00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:45,687 if someone proposes Stéphane Audran for a role in the movie 112 00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:47,981 you say yes right away 113 00:10:48,273 --> 00:10:52,402 because it's a privilege to have an actress like her 114 00:10:52,735 --> 00:10:54,904 for what is practically a secondary role, your know? 115 00:10:57,157 --> 00:11:03,955 Helmut was for us- for me and for René- ideal for the part. 116 00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:11,004 His agent was difficult however and we had a problem, Rene and 117 00:11:11,129 --> 00:11:16,843 with Helmut's agent, but in the end we were able to get him 118 00:11:16,926 --> 00:11:18,094 and that was good. 119 00:11:18,595 --> 00:11:22,473 At the time, Helmut had the reputation 120 00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:24,267 of being a very difficult actor to work with 121 00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:27,270 he was very difficult because he would disappear 122 00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:29,981 he would leave in the middle of shooting, things like that. 123 00:11:30,773 -->...
