Orson Welles' dialogue in The Long, Hot Summer (1958)
Recently re-watched this for the first time in decades. On the DVD, there's a making of featurette that had some great trivia, including this piece about Welles.
I watched with subtitles so I didn't have a problem understanding him, but Welles never passed up an opportunity to dunk on method acting, did he? His reply to the reporter cracked me up.
The film was ok, a curiosity more than anything. Not director Martin Ritt's best, but I had a fun time watching it. The different parts of the Faulkner stories didn't seem to fit together quite right and I didn't enjoy where they took Newman's character, in contrast to Ritt's later film HUD (1963), which has aged very well.
The best part of the film was the shunned son Jody Varner played Anthony Franciosa. He was great and I remembered him from his brief role in A Face in the Crowd (1957).
Much of the cast came from the Actor's Studio, so there was a lot of speculation that Welles had done it deliberately as a way to show contempt for the what he called "mumbling" method actors.
