He filmed on remote sites; the cast and crew would have to be away from home, and without the comforts of things like catering. He insisted on no sex and no drugs on site--This was the 1960s-1970s. He fired anybody who broke the rules. He was pretty disagreeable, yelling at cast, refusing to listen to ideas. Most of the crew were his World War Two buddies, so he wasn't so hard on them.
Thanks for telling us more about Russ and how he operated, Pedonbio!
Again, Gosh!
Never thought he worked in this way.
But I will always have great admiration for him and I'm sorry I have never met him as he inspired us very much to start FRV.
However, we have a more relaxed attitude during our shoots (on location).
For instance, the models and the crew can have as much sex as they like.
