Here is a rare picture of Robert Aldrich directing Anouk Aimée. I always thought the way the Queen clapped her hands instead of directly addressing her slaves to give her wordless orders were a nice touch of characterization and the way everyone seemed to understand what she meant was almost magic.
I know now thanks to that picture that the director and the actress put some thought in the nonchalant way of doing it as they are seen here rehearsing the scene.
Here is a picture of actress Mitsuko Takara out of character in a Japanese costume.
