Editing This Sporting Life (section)

===Direction===
Anderson wrote in his diary on 23 April 1962, after the first month or so of production: "the most striking feature of it all, I suppose, has been the splendour and misery of my work and relationship with Richard". He felt that Harris was acting better than ever before in his career, but feared his feelings for Harris, whose combination of physicality, affection and cruelty fascinated him, meant that he lacked the detachment he needed as a director, continuing: "I ought to be calm and detached with him. Instead I am impulsive, affectionate, infinitely susceptible."<ref>[http://www.is.stir.ac.uk/libraries/collections/anderson/TransRHTSL.php Diary entry, 23 April 1962, on Richard Harris and the making of This Sporting Life (LA 6/1/33)], Anderson Collection, [[University of Stirling]]; Paul Sutton (ed) ''The Diaries of Lindsay Anderson'', 2004, London: Methuen, p75</ref>
