The Secret of My Success which I made with James Booth and Lionel Jeffries was one of the funniest scripts I ever read but it didn't turn out that way on film. Comedy depends very heavily on the director and ours very definitely lacked a funny bone. In the last scene I was supposed to open a box containing two monstrous Argentinian spiders and push them on to a table -- lovingly! The only information was that, if bitten, 24 hour paralysis resulted. Further prognosis was unknown -- or withheld. I tried twice but as those vast black hairy legs scrambled over the sides, the box went into the air and I and the camera crew fled. A secretary, on pain of further employment, had to do it wearing my velvet suit which when returned was wringing wet!
