Excerpt from A King in Babylon I like Warren Creel. I like to work with him, for I consider him in many ways the best director in the business, but even he couldn't have got me started on a job like this if it hadn't been that, from the very first, I have had an uneasy consciousness that some day I should have to do it. There is nothing more disturbing to one's peace of mind than a thing like that - a sort of impending fate which there is no escaping. It has robbed me of many hours of much-needed rest, it has interfered with my appetite and my amusements, it has even involved me in unpleasant scenes with Mollie, when a random answer betrayed that I had not been giving due heed to her remarks. But the climax came yesterday. Creel had been working all morning on a complicated scene with a lot of dubs who were more than usually thick-headed. He had gone over it again and again, but the effect he wanted wouldn't come, and his temper had grown more and more frazzled. Then, quite suddenly, like the bits of coloured glass falling into place in a kaleidoscope, they got it. "Ready!" he snapped over his shoulder to me, and gave them the signal to start. I don't know how it was, but just then I found myself looking, not at the set in front of me, but out across the drifted sands, away toward the horizon, where three vague shapes were fading into nothingness. And right in the middle of the scene, one of the actors stopped. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
