 Tony Burton (I) (qv), who had a brief role as Larry Durkin the  garage owner, arrived on set one day carrying a chess set in hopes  of getting in a game with someone during a break from filming.  Stanley Kubrick (qv), an avid chess player who had in his youth  played for money, noticed the chess set. Despite production being  behind schedule, Kubrick proceeded to call off filming for the day  and engage in a set of games with Burton. Even though Kubrick won  each game, Burton said the director thanked him since it had been  some time that hed played against a challenging opponent.
