Eric Stacey from Ramsgate (Kent) England, an assistant director, who was often relegated to the sidelines as a traffic cop, and his ultimate work seen in Gone With The Wind. As its producer, David O. Selznick wrote (December 5, 1942) in part, "...[Stacey's] activities were those connected with Gone With The Wind, a picture making extraordinary demands on [his] position."In retrospect, there seems to be a certain element of fantasy, paranoia, artifice and illusion in these recollections.
