The Docks Of New York, 1928 (Directed by Josef von Sternberg)
Fredric March in The Iceman Cometh, 1973
“When John Frankenheimer asked me to play Harry Hope, I said, ‘No John, I’m really through this time.’ But then my wife twisted my arm, and John Cromwell twisted my arm, and Bob Anderson twisted my arm. ‘Come on, Freddy,’ they said. ‘You’re just sitting on your can; you’d better get to work.’ So I did.
“But, Jesus, my heart bled for poor Frankenheimer. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I went into the hospital for prostate surgery — it was my second time — and I told John he should get somebody else for the movie, but he said no. Well we got the movie made, after all. And John said we’d have to get together and do another one. But I don’t think I’ll be hearing much more of that sort of talk.”
“I’ve seen the rushes on ‘Iceman,’” says March’s wife Florence Eldridge, who has joined us, “and I’m sure that after the movie opens, everyonewill be calling you. I think there’s a certain richness that comes with age, and I believe that this may be the finest acting you’ve ever done, Freddy.”
