We started the picture off in Madrid as we had a lot of scenes that were supposed to be in Washington with Brian Keith playing President Teddy Roosevelt with John Houston as his Secretary of State John Hayes, so it was a marvellous cast, and we used this hotel in Madrid called the Palace Hotel, which had a huge sort of art nouveau glassed glazed dome with lots of space around it and some lovely big rooms and corridors, and... and we used this as a location shooting at night for Washington, and it worked beautifully; had some marvellous... marvellous scenes there. Well it was right opposite the Prado Museum and we were in preparation and I had a bit of time and I would go over to the Prado and spend quite... you know, some... some several days there looking around and I was really taken with... with the Goyas. I thought Goya was just, you know, the best, and I thought wouldn't it be nice if I could try and get something of the Goya look, if you like, into this movie. So it was a kind of an ideal that I had that if I could capture something of the... the colour and the light and shade of the Goya it would be some sort of inspiration.
