FIRST, there's "Waterloo Bridge" starring Robert Taylor and Vivien Leigh. It's about an officer in the British army {Robert Taylor) who, during an air raid on the last day of his leave, meets a girl {Vivien Leigh) with whom he falls desperately in love. In the play, Vivien was a lady of easy virtue, but they've cleaned her up and now she's a dancer. He goes back to the front. Lucille Watson {Bob's
mother) goes to meet her future daughter-in-law at a cafe. While waiting for Lucille, Vivien sees in a paper that Bob has been killed. She gets dizzy and the management of the place gives her a brandy to revive her. Then Lucille breezes in.

I can't get into cold print the intensity of this scene, but if you miss this picture I'll guarantee you're depriving yourself of a real treat.
Even with all the drama, though., the actors must mind the details. Just as they are about to shoot, Vivien, who is sitting at the table waiting for Lucille to come in, notices her hand which rests on the table, clutching the fateful newspaper. She stops the scene and turns to DirectorProducer Mervyn LeRoy: "Do you want make-up on my hand for this shot?" she asks.
