Fleming likes long books. He had heard enough about this one to force him to it. He had opened it in the middle, read on from there. Then he had gone back, opening it at anothee page, and picked up the thread. Skipping around, he covered it all ‘Then David O.

But Fleming isn't neck-sticker-outer. He went straight home, read “Gone” from cover to cover, began studying it, marking passages. who was to for ed into his lap. “Why don’t you be the man who a The other day Fleming, busy already on “The Yearling,” a script which has been awaiting him for two years while he did other chores, was called back for a final “added scene” on “‘Gone.” That marked finis to a movie on whichh he began shooting last February “We've shot the book,” he says. “Almost page for page. Anybody who has read the book will find it in the movie. . . ., I can't recall how many times we went to the book to settle minor details.

Sometimes it was a matter of concentrating seven or eight pages of the book into a single significant passage of dialogue—perhaps no more than a quick montage sequence, but it’s all there.” Fleming, tall, silver-haired, fiftyish, is a rugged veteran of the films and one of the most versatile of directors. He started as a cameraman when Santa Barbara was a movie center, back in 1910. Periodically, he has decided to retire from pictures. Just as frequently as Honolulu or Alaska or round-the-world trip- ping calls him away, he returns. “The only way to quit pics tures,” he says now, “is just to walk out of the studio gate.” Quiet-spoken, unhurried, Fleming knows what he wants from his players and he gets it from them. He throws himself into a picture, never lets it off his mind when he’s working on it, finds his ' relaxation afterward in duck or game hunting. Once during “Gone" he had to give in to a jittery stomach (Sam Wood took over) and spend a week in bed, taking sadatives. You might get jittery, too, thinking of the overhead involved in a movie that cost approximately $4,000,000, thinking all the while that the completed product would face an audience of millions of individual critics, After “Gone” the time for a long rest had arrived, but there was “The Yearling.” Fleming likes the story, thinks it will make a good picture. And he’s already neck-deep in its affairs. Casting, for one, since Mickey Rooney has out-grown his origi- nal assignment in the book. So it looks as if Victor Fleming won't be “just walking out” for a while yet.
