Dear Sir Noel Plum,
> Maybe the producer also insisted HE do what he was booked to do!
I've pointed this out in another post on ADT. Some directors are very hard to work with. Just look on the famous production of PRIVATE GLADIATOR. The temperatures were between -20 and -10 degrees Celsius (4 to 14 Fahrenheit) and most performers were sick afterwards. This is just one example of many. Sometimes is to cold, sometimes to hot and sometimes a scene takes 10 hours. Some scene are more hard for the men some are very hard for the girls. One reason why many directors like to work with me is, that I'm reliable in difficult circumstances.
When Manuel Ferrara and I shoot our movies we avoid everything which might cause problems. We want everybody to enjoy it. We don't care for "art" but for good real sex.
