Quotable Quotes:

"[on filming in Danzig in 1939 just before the German invasion of Poland] The Eyemo [movie camera] was heavy and could be noisy. Once I was in an auditorium filming a speech made by [Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels] when suddenly it decided to emit a huge snarling sound. Goebbels froze and hundreds of uniformed Brownshirts turned and glared at me in anger. It was not a comfortable moment." (IMDB)
