[John Boorman on Alexander Jacobs] 'He was, as they say in Hollywood, 'great in a room'. He eventually became a rewrite man, a script doctor. When they had a project with intractable problems, they would send for Alex. He would demolish the script, reduce it to rubble, then when everyone was in despair, he would rebuild it into a potential masterpiece.'
