Mike Nichols told Richard Burton just "do nothing" sometimes in a scene and simply listen. It was a lesson Burton found quite valuable. "His behavior, his manner, are silky soft", said Burton of Nichols' directing style. "He appears to defer to you, then in the end he gets exactly what he wants. He conspires with you, rather than directs you, to get your best. He'd make me throw away a line where I'd have hit it hard, and he was right every time."
