"I noticed that he wasn't looking at me while we talked. After we finished the take, I asked him where he'd been looking. "Your ear," he replied. "Why?" I asked in surprise. "Because that way more of my face is on camera. Don't look at the other actors. Look in three-quarters, so your face is more prominent. Stick with me. I'll teach you some tricks." And Walter did teach me. He shared his bag of tricks for how to make the most of a scene. Walter was one of the greatest scene-stealers I've ever known--in the major leagues with Thelma Ritter and Walter Matthau. You couldn't turn your back on any of them. It's hard to rank them; they were all superb at their craft. I'd say it was a three-way tie for who could get the most out of their camera time."
