Richard Donner: “I said, ‘Gene, the mustache – it’s got to go.’ He said, ‘No, the mustache stays.’ I said, ‘Look, we’re getting by with the hair and everything but we’ll never get by with the mustache.’ I said, ‘Come on. You shave yours off and I’ll take mine off.’ First he said no. Then he looked at me and said, ‘Alright, but you do it right now.’ I said, ‘While you’re sitting there, let Stuart take yours off first.’ I said, ‘Stuart, take off Mr. Hackman’s mustache.’ Stuart started to shake. He knew now what was going down. And it wasn’t going to be pretty. And he shaves off Gene’s mustache. He said, ‘Okay, sit down. You’re next.’ I said, ‘I don’t have to,’ and I peeled the fake mustache off. Hackman looked at me and his neck went four sizes bigger and the veins in his temple started to throb. He’s a big mother, I knew he was going to knock me through the wall. Gradually a smile came to his face and he laughed and he said, ‘I see what this picture is going to be like, but I owe you one.’ And from there on in he was a doll. He was a doll on the set with ideas. He was easy to work with. We broke the problem. He had put the chip on his shoulder and I knocked it off and I didn’t get hurt, and he became one of the dear friends of my life.”
