In their words
- “She said, look, if it is a terrorist organization, I'd be scared. I'd be really frightened. And so we proceeded from there, and we rewrote the scene on the spot, whereby she shows herself to be a real human being. You know, she is scared of what's going to happen. She's not just a hard-nosed broad, as it were, a gangster small. She is frightened and can see what a danger they were in, even more than Harold.” [1:15:35] The Long Good Friday (1980)
- “They dropped the bombshell that ITC were only going to release the film as an 82-minute TV film selling it to America. They had to edit it down without my consent. And to add insult to injury, they re-voiced Bob because he thought his London accent was too broad. And they re-dubbed it with a guy from Wolverhampton.” [1:41:04] The Long Good Friday (1980)
- “It was just one of those shots I let go on and on. And people said, oh, well, of course you're going to have to cut that. But I never did. And most people find it very memorable. Seemed to me the very best way to end the film.” [1:51:11] The Long Good Friday (1980)
