- [on 1984 (1956)] We had a real job getting clean sewer rats for the torture scene. After hunting around everywhere, in the end I approached Harrod's in Knightsbridge where you can buy anything. "No problem" they said and I had our rats.
- [on Moby Dick (1956)] rubber for the Moby Dick whale was provided by Dunlop, it was operated by a very rudimentary radio control system. Anyway, we needed to test out the model with sea trials. We took it down on the beach near Dover and we pushed it out to sea. It was huge. A big white whale. It floated, bobbed about for a bit, then it sank and was never seen again. We had to build another one.
