Worked on this movie, 5 February 2008
Author: billstanley from Australia

I worked on this movie as a driver for the Directer, John Boorman. I remember he was very easy to get on with, and his wife Crystal was a pleasure to know her. The 2 younger twins, Daisy and Charlie were only very young then and were great kids. The family lived in Connaught Sq London, near Marble Arch, and I enjoyed many amusing lunches there particularly when Peter Cook turned up and the red wine was flowing like water.

By the time I joined the movie most of the filming was done and a lot of work was being done on the sound track. John was a perfectionist and the recording sessions often went late into the night. I remember the "end of shoot" party quite well, It was only across Hyde Park but the traffic was so busy John and his wife decided to catch the tube instead, but I cut through Mayfair and got there first. I thought maybe John would be annoyed at me arriving first, but he was very laid back that it wasn't a problem. He had 3 Au Pair girls, 2 Americans, and 1 Australian. I was going out with the Australian girl and she was mainly responsible for me moving to Australia.

In short, I enjoyed my experience working on the movie.
