Summary
Telling her about his routine in London, shopping during the day and working with editor Humphrey Dixon in the evenings; describing in great detail the difficult behavior of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward during the making "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge," including Newman's unkind attitude toward Simon Callow, his scathing criticism of the film, and his holding up a studio ADR session talking to Bill Murray-- "as Ismail's money trickled away in antics & horseplay (it's $475 an hour)".
