They say:
"When you can fake sincerity, you've got it beat!"

I liked the para of cinema-verite blurb that went like this:
"When things were going wrong - a tyre that kept trundling off to the left,
or a rocker shaft that kept toppling over like a tipsy cyclist - the
production lads on the shoot would start grumbling that 'the parts are
being very moody today' "

That's not an unfamiliar scenario....
