Yes, it's quite similar, although Kubrick was much tougher than me. We were both establishing who was in charge, but he had a very specific effect in mind when he called for a wide-angle lens, but instead got a 50mm. That tracking shot across the apartment and back is a highlight, specifically because it's wide-angle. Mine was a good shot, but not that good.

That reminds me of the famous story about Stanley Kubrick and Lucien Ballard on THE KILLING. It sounds like you were nicer about it, though!
