豺狼之日 The Day of the Jackal
141 min. 1973

Writing credits
Frederick Forsyth (book)
Kenneth Ross (screenplay)

Edward Fox ...  The Jackal
Adrien Cayla-Legrand ...  The President
Olga Georges-Picot ...  Denise
Derek Jacobi ...  Caron
Michael Lonsdale ...  Lebel (as Michel Lonsdale)
Jean Martin ...  Wolenski
Eric Porter ...  Colonel Rodin
Delphine Seyrig ...  Colette
Jean Sorel ...  Bastien-Thiry
Nicole Desailly ...  Yvonne De Gaulle (uncredited) 

1.
Edward Fox was cast as the Jackal after director Fred Zinnemann was impressed with him in The Go-Between (1970).
2.
There are 31 individual insert shots of clocks in the movie. By contrast, High Noon (1952), also directed by Fred Zinnemann and more directly concerned with the passage of time, contains only 13 insert shots of clocks.
3.
When the Jackal meets the weapons supplier in Genoa, there is a picture of John F. Kennedy on the cover of an Italian magazine reporting on President Kennedy's recent visit to Europe. The scene is set on 2 August 1963, about three months before Kennedy himself was assassinated.
4.
The film features no soundtrack music other than diegetic background music from marching bands, street musicians and radios after the first five minutes.
5.
Michael Caine, Jack Nicholson and Roger Moore were considered for the role of the Jackal.

再死一次 The Dead Zone
104 min. 1983

Stephen King (novel)

Christopher Walken  ...  Johnny Smith 
Brooke Adams  ...  Sarah Bracknell 
Tom Skerritt  ...  Sheriff Bannerman 
Herbert Lom  ...  Dr. Sam Weizak 
Anthony Zerbe  ...  Roger Stuart 
Colleen Dewhurst  ...  Henrietta Dodd 
Martin Sheen  ...  Greg Stillson 
Nicholas Campbell  ...  Frank Dodd 
Sean Sullivan  ...  Herb Smith 
Jackie Burroughs  ...  Vera Smith 
Géza Kovács  ...  Sonny Elliman
Ramon Estevez ...  Teenage Boy with Camera  

1.
Director David Cronenberg had to re-shoot the scene in which John Smith has his first premonition. It showed a little girl's room burning and a small E.T. doll could be seen on one of the shelves. The scene had to be re-shot when Universal Pictures threatened to sue.
2.
Cronenberg fired a .357 Magnum loaded with blanks just off camera to make Smith's flinches seem more involuntary; this was Christopher Walken's own idea.
3.
Before the accident, Johnny instructs his class to read "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Christopher Walken would later go on to appear in Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow (1999).
4.
One of only three David Cronenberg films that do not have a score by his friend, composer Howard Shore. This was due to studio politics in which Paramount wanted a more familiar composer to write the music for the film. Michael Kamen, who had written the music for the film Venom (1981) for the studio, was chosen instead.
5.
This film (and Stephen King's novel) are both loosely based upon the life of famous psychic Peter Hurkos. Hurkos claimed to have acquired his alleged powers after falling off a ladder and hitting his head.
6.
The poem Johnny reads in the beginning of the film is the end of "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.
7.
The Dead Zone was the first of several Stephen King novels and short stories that took place in the small town of Castle Rock. Others include Stand by Me (1986), Cujo (1983), The Dark Half (1993), and Needful Things (1993).

Vincent Price  ...  Shelby Carpenter 
Judith Anderson  ...  Ann Treadwell 
Grant Mitchell ...  Lancaster Corey (scenes deleted)
Dorothy Adams ...  Bessie Clary, Laura's Maid (uncredited) 

1.
The film was begun by Rouben Mamoulian, but Otto Preminger, who initiated the project as producer and took over the direction, brought on a new cameraman and scrapped all of Mamoulian's footage.
2.
The character of Waldo Lydecker appears to be based on the columnist, broadcaster, and "New Yorker" theater critic Alexander Woollcott, a famous wit who, like Waldo, was fascinated by murder. Woollcott always dined at the Algonquin Hotel, where Laura first approaches Waldo.
3.
Darryl F. Zanuck was opposed to casting Clifton Webb because of his known homosexuality, but Preminger prevailed and the 54-year-old Webb, making his first screen appearance since the silent era, was nominated for an Oscar.

Marilyn Chambers  ...  Rose 
Frank Moore  ...  Hart Read 
Joe Silver  ...  Murray Cypher
Howard Ryshpan  ...  Dr. Dan Keloid 
Patricia Gage  ...  Dr. Roxanne Keloid  

1.
Sissy Spacek was David Cronenberg's first choice to play Rose. Ivan Reitman suggested Marilyn Chambers because he wanted sex appeal.
2.
A poster for Carrie (1976) is visible after Rose walks out of the porn theatre. Sissy Spacek, who played Carrie in that film, was the first choice for Rose but was turned down because of her Texas accent.
3.
The song that plays on the radio in Hart's workshop is Marilyn Chambers' own disco single "Benihana" (about 25 minutes into the film).

1987 Academy Awards Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium
Produced by

Maggie Smith ...  Charlotte Bartlett, a chaperon

1.
In the book, Lucy kisses George in a field of violets, but it was the wrong season for this when filming so just a plain field of barley was used.
2.
Charlotte Bartlett and Eleanor Lavish discuss the plotline of E.M. Forster's other Italian novel "Where Angels Fear to Tread" when on the picnic. Helena Bonham Carter starred in the film adaptation of the novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1991).
3.
My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) and A Room with a View (1985) both opened in New York on the same day, March 7, 1986. Both movies featured Daniel Day-Lewis in prominent and very different roles:
3.1
in A Room with a View, he played a repressed, snobbish Edwardian upperclassman, while in Laundrette, he played a lower-class gay ex-skinhead in love with an ambitious Pakistani businessman in Thatcher's London.
3.2
When American critics saw Day-Lewis, who was then virtually unknown in the US, in two such different roles on the same day, many (including Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times and Vincent Canby of The New York Times) raved about the talent it must have taken him to play such vastly different characters.
4.
First cinema film of Helena Bonham Carter.
5.
During a film making discussion with Gus Van Sant during the Oregon Sesquicentennial Film Festival, James Ivory stated that he chose to make A Room with a View (1985) because he wanted to return to Italy.

Alfred Hitchcock ...  Man Mailing Letter (uncredited) 

1.
Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] about 45 minutes in, mailing a letter at the village post office.
2.
In the scene where Johnnie brings a glass of milk up to Lina, Alfred Hitchcock had a light hidden in the glass to make it appear more sinister.
3.
Joan Fontaine's performance in this movie is the only Oscar-winning performance that Alfred Hitchcock directed.
4.
This movie marked Alfred Hitchcock's first film as a producer as well as director.
5.
Alfred Hitchcock wanted an ending similar to the climax of the novel, but the studio, more concerned with Cary Grant's "heroic" image, insisted that it be changed.
5.5
Writer Donald Spoto, in his biography of Hitchcock, "The Dark Side Of Genius", disputes Hitchcock's claim to have been overruled on the film's ending.
5.6
Spoto claims that the first RKO treatment and memos between Hitchcock and the studio show that Hitchcock emphatically desired to make a film about a woman's fantasy life.
6.
SPOILER: Alfred Hitchcock originally wanted Johnnie to be guilty, but the studio insisted that the public wouldn't accept Cary Grant as a murderer. Hitchcock's original ending had Johnny killing Lina by poisoning her milk, but then convicting himself by mailing a letter that Lina had written.
