[on
Fury at Furnace Creek (1948)] I always was concerned about doing my best in the part. I wanted to do justice to the character, whatever it was. I went to the director [
H. Bruce Humberstone] to ask about the interpretation of the character. I wanted to know what the character was like before the point where the script began. Mr. Humberstone barked, "Just be like
Betty Grable when it comes to lines--learn them, do them!".
Victor Mature later ended up throwing him through a set, but it was on another picture, so I didn't get to see it!
