Harold: Me?Mildred: You don't care how much you take me away from people I like.Amelia: Harold, are you listening to me?Harold: Oh yes, yes, dear, go on, go on...Amelia: What did I say last?Harold: Yes, yes, every word of it, yes..Mildred: I never knew such an ungrateful father.Harold: (to Mildred) Listen, you've all got to realize one thing hat I (he tentatively glances in the direction of his wife, and henwhispers so his wife won't hear) am the master of this household.She ultimately retaliated and took it out on her world.The atmospheric look of the mansion and the cinematography was also inspired by Lean'sGreat Expectations (1946).Ex-stuntman Burt Reynolds took the role of bow-and-arrow expert Lewis after it was turned down by James Stewart, Marlon Brando, and Henry Fonda on account of its on-location hazards.They begin with a repeat of the three hop-steps hat Penny had taught him, and then improvise by scampering around he dance floor in unison, and adding more complicated steps, while expressing their joy and glee at each other's perfectly-syncopated abilities.
