Show When Rain on the Roof Can Prove a Pain in the Neck! Rain on the roof may be romantic roman-tic to all the rest of the world Aut it is a pain In the neck to lovers on a motion picture sound stage. The condemnation comes from Frank Borzage, ace director of tender ten-der love scenes, whose pictures, "Humoresque" and Seventh Heaven" Hea-ven" still live in vivid memory. When Borzage directs love scenes, as he recently directed with Robert Taylor and Margaret Sul-j lavan in "Three Comrades," open-, ing Sunday at the Capitol Theatre, the sound stage almost assumes the atmosphere of a silent tomb. Borzage demands silence in love scenes. "Little irritating sounds can take the players' minds off the business of making love more than anything else," he said. "I try to eliminate these disturbances completely com-pletely but if they cannot be eliminated elim-inated I have the working schedule changed to await a more oportune time." Borzage has listed the most annoying an-noying pests that can spoil an otherwise tender love scene. Flies are the worst offenders, so when the time comes for the scene the property men increase their supplies sup-plies of spray guns and, disinfectants. disinfec-tants. Other enemies of the perfect love scene are nlsfiling garments, squeaking shoes, rusty hinges, whispering among the extras, ticking tick-ing wrist watches, whistling arc lights, clacking gum chewers and' outside airplane motors. |
