I saw The Only Game in Town, George Stevens’ film about gambling in Las Vegas, on TV recently. Warren Beatty and Elizabeth Taylor, who is a little bit Porky Pig. About a half hour in, Taylor turns to Beatty and she says, “Carry me into the bedroom.” Well, there’s no way to do anything but laugh. I thought, “He’s going to throw his back out.” I mean there goes your film. So when you do a fantasy for the screen, make sure people don’t fall off their seats.
