 A scene calls for the character of Mario (played by James Coco) to  drive his truck in the scene in which Mario and Junie look for the  Ken Howard character. James Coco did not have a license and told  Preminger this. In response, Preminger is reported to have yelled,  "A grown man who doesnt have a drivers license!" Coco said he has  never felt so small in his whole career.
