I spent several days there two or three times in 1961, when the Zanuck Longest Day film was being shot.
Caen, being so central, was the headquarters for the Zanuck production people.
Great, Harold thinks, that's all I need: to show up in Zanuck's office with my typewriter and say, "Bugsy sent me."
According to Sarne, the screening was everything he, Brown, and Zanuck could have hoped for.
“Shove it in me, big one,” Zanuck had to admit, appeared only once.
