The Dain Curse [Tom Fink] was a great job. I was in New York, and I was young – I think I’m 28 years old in that – and I got to work with James Coburn and Jean Simmons and Jason Miller. Plus, it was a Dashiell Hammett story, and I had a great character. It was fantastic to shoot.

As it turns out, sometimes that bites you. In this case, I saw pictures of Earl [Mills], and…I actually met him. He was quite old at the time, but he had this sort of curly red hair, so we did that in the film. I got a perm and had red hair, and… It was a mess.
