I Used To Have Yellow Eyes

SEEN BY GARY COOPER ORSON WELLES

ORSON WELLES: _Hay film actors. Gary Cooper was a movie actor, the classic example. He is working on a set and think, 'Oh dear, will have to re-shoot that scene! ". Hardly seemed to be there. Then he sees the scene and the actor occupies the entire screen.
Peter Bogdanovich: _ How do you explain?
ORSON WELLES: _Personalidad. I will not presume to explain that mystery. It's always something more important than technique. Is there someone who knows more about technical Olivier? If acting on stage depended significantly on camera technique, Larry had become master of film interpretation, but it is not. While he has done some good movies in the cinema never went from being a shadow of that electrifying presence commanded the stage. Why dwarfed camera Laurence Olivier? Why magnifying Gary Cooper? Is there anyone who knows anything about the technique before the camera?
