It was during the filming of The Siren ofthe Tropics that the worldreacted to the shock of the Sacco and Vanzetti execution. For anentire night, the demonstrators ruled the Paris streets. I went to theEtoile with one of the electricians from the film, where we saw somemen put out the flame that burns beside the tomb of the UnknownSoldier-by pissing on it. Windows were smashed; the city was inchaos. A British actress in the movie told me that someone hadmachine-gunned the foyer of her hotel. The damage to the boulevard%bastopol was particularly devastating; ten days later, the policewere still rounding up suspected looters.Before we'd finished shooting the exteriors, I quit the tropics andits siren.
