00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Movie stardom

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,500
relied on the fact that

3
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,250
that Cy was an American and not an English director.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,200
And the length of the bar at the Prince of Wales theatre in the west end—

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,400
’cause it’s a very long bar.

6
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:16,350
And that’s where he was auditioning.

7
00:00:16,475 --> 00:00:19,750
And I went to play a cockney corporal, and when I got there,

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,500

9
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:25,150
Another real cockney like myself.

00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,430
A-a-an-and when I was walking out

11
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:30,750
I got right to the door, and he said,

12
00:00:30,910 --> 00:00:32,925
‘You don’t look like a cockney to me.’

13
00:00:33,075 --> 00:00:36,250
He said, ‘You don’t really look that tough or anything.’

14
00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:39,500
He said, ‘You look like one of those upper-crust officers. Can you do that ?’
