He also had an assistant, it was Kevin McClory, I don't know if you know him, and we were shooting the big scenes in the Rue de Rivoli, and... outside the Ritz, and... outside the...  Tuileries, and all that, and I changed shop fronts, and so on, and it looked pretty good.

But there were about seven or eight cars parked, and we couldn't get rid of them. So Kevin MClory called in the police, and said, 'You better get rid of these cars, because we have, you know, a world production', so the Chief of Police got rid of all the cars. What he didn't realise, they said they're all diplomatic cars. That's a true story. And he got fired and no film company was allowed for two years to shoot in Paris after that, you know. But that was Todd, you know, he was completely ruthless, you know. So it added quite a lot to... to my education... in big films. And, so you know, I got my first Oscar nomination, but I didn't win the Oscar.

And... I mean he was bigger than life, and Todd-AO was bigger than life, and he knew that, and the film was an... an enormous success. And then shortly afterwards he was killed in a... in a flying accident.
