Couldn't be more thrilled for the two of them because let me show -- taking on these iconic -- was in a big gamble and that -- so you that -- into faxes and I'm really proud of the way breakdown -- the movie come to you.

I think I fed and now with the -- laws which is banks that the published books by guys coming -- who -- the that this -- direct this is very fast job and he he won the golden ticket to work on this movie in 1956 united.

That told the story of how -- that became intimately -- and during the making of film.

And and how true to the true story is is the movie.

Well.

I.

I didn't I don't about the peseta was our objective that they -- that obviously there are many different people involved in making that film but diamond.

That will be many different stories of the making of that film but.

These books were published this is cutting club selection of what happened.

And it was our job see that it make a film of his actions.

And it could someone tell me a little I think a lot of people look at a movie.

And they think they they realize the sort of effort that goes into it but tell us a little bit as a director.

How exhausting.

Is it to go from the the concept in -- head to the finished product of a movie.

Well it's a very good question -- Stephanie Kennedy.

And this is quite a grueling film because that it was a right to be no budget to we had quite a tight -- until.

We relative.

Some eighty days -- -- -- -- is -- -- Let's on the other hand you know I couldn't be lucky to work -- -- list people who it's -- that.

I'm not saying it was easy.

It was a real -- -- -- -- The killing of bringing that sort of comes together as he -- -- A list actors.

That I would always imagines a very satisfying part of it to bring those disparate actors together and then see them gel and sign on to the project innocent -- to sign on in the sense of loving it the way you do.

-- -- a finger on -- is my most pleasurable part of the job.

I love the -- staying I love.

The ceiling at the act says and and have -- being ambitious that.

In my cussing going for the best possible person for each -- and sometimes it works out feet.

Sometimes it doesn't and then sometimes that a happy accidents people need to hadn't -- -- originated and that's the wonderful group but in this case it was all about.

This -- -- only ready black kid we cost marinated and Olivier well you both Michelle -- can Wear away at the top of my list and submitted to them.

The sign on -- was a special thing.

No not every one wouldn't necessarily immediately think of Marilyn Monroe and think of Michelle Williams -- appealed to you about half of that role.

I've always admired the work I think he's the greatest actress in -- -- -- And I think that this is Marilyn not the biopic not a whole life the whole sweep of Marilyn's life it was Marilyn -- that's in 1956.

And I also wanted that you know that to bring -- had to find an actress he could bring some psychological complexity to the looks so magnificent about you said as he does that's so well she does little -- characters but.

In this you also see perhaps for the first time that the fund and sexiness of marinated.

And Michelle does the single singing yield on the same -- as Vernon needs he does the -- and -- And Kenneth -- -- adams' visit a stolen of of British.

Movies and theater for so many years a pleasure to direct him to completely camino real on that to direct him because -- so -- experience.

-- -- we emerged in London around the same time in much the same age.

At W -- -- products of the London -- -- much more successfully main base he you know he he does have real ally.

He knows a lot about directing.

He's playing it.

And I had directing himself he's not that he's elected himself he was also doing post production on -- Plus we would see things that mean he is a multi -- -- -- they say it had nothing to date and that.

I gained a huge amount from the privilege of working with him and it did all of -- little chilly.
