Film Production: Faster Better Cheaper – Pick Any Two

About 1970 I saw an interview with Hattie Jacques, a veteran character actor who always played the dowdy Matron, Wife, etc. through the series of “Carry On ___” movies out of the UK. She not only used the phrase, “Faster-Better-Cheaper pick any two”, but she said that it was a mantra that she had been living for many years.Let’s think about it. It’s a generality, and I think it’s lasted so long because it really makes you ponder. But, like all generalities, not always true.
