Instructions
Spencer    Tracy    was    an    enigma.    He    could    be    cruel    and    heartless    toward    some    actors    with    whom    he    worked,    but    kind    to    others.    Director    Robert    Wise    says,    'When    we    did    a    film    called    Tribute    to    a    Bad    Man,    he    couldn't    have    been    more    mean    and    nasty    to    his    co-stars.    He    ignored    and    upstaged    young    Robert    Francis    to    the    where    the    kid    was    hurt,    bewildered    and    demoralized.'    On    the    other    hand,    Robert    Wagner    says,    'After    I    worked    with    him    in    The    Mountain,    he    became    a    sort    of    father    to    me.    We    became    good    friends    and    he    helped    me    in    my    development    as    an    actor    until    the    day    he    died.'    There    was    a    similar    dichotomy    in    Tracy's    relations    with    directors.    Generally    he    would    along    with    everything    a    director    wanted,    but    as    Stanley    Kramer    says,    he    could    be    difficult:    'There    were    times,    when    he    disagreed    with    me,    when    he    could    wither    me    with    a    glance.    If    his    forehead    was    shiny    and    I    sent    a    make-up    man    over    to    powder-puff    it,    he'd    push    the    man    away.'    These    were    comparatively    reactions,    although    with    the    highly    respected    Walter    Lang,    Tracy    was    rude.
