This is the movie where "Hey! I'm walkin' here!" comes from
Dustin Hoffman told a great story about this moment when he was on "Inside the Actors Studio" recently. Apparently that wasn't scripted at all. They just wanted to capture some kind of "New Yorker on a busy street" moment, and they were capturing that shot with a hidden camera, not on a cleared, controlled street. So they kept doing that shot over and over again until they hit the timing right, and a cab came along in the middle of the shot. Hoffman talked about how he, the actor, immediately wanted to scream at the cab, "Hey, we're making a film here!" But he then filtered it through his character, and what came out was, "Hey, I'm walking here!"
I still haven't seen that movie. But it's near the top of my Netflix list. As is "All the President's Men". Hey, have you been stalking my Netflix list lately? ;)
