And David Niven as a title of one of his books on Hollywood remembered that Curtiz once directed a film crew to “bring on the empty horses.”

My fave Curtiz flick, “Captain Blood” (1935)

I have all of Niven’s memoirs in yellowed paperback editions. I should read them again. Dirk Bogarde and Peter O’Toole also wrote some great show biz memoirs (and they both wrote quite well), but for me the most entertaining, and surprisingly emotional, is Michael Caine’s “The Elephant to Hollywood.”
