1.
Dito Montiel was reluctant to cast Shia LaBeouf in the role of young Dito because Montiel was intent on casting an unknown. After the first rejection, however, LaBeouf pushed for one more audition.
1.5
He came into the casting office, punched a hole in the wall, and convinced Montiel that he could bring a requisite amount of anger to the role.
2.
SPOILER: In the scene where Monty (Chazz Palminteri) has a stroke, Antonio (Channing Tatum) throws a table through the glass window of a door. This was improvised by Channing Tatum, who got so wrapped up in the scene he nearly lost control.
2.5
The rest of the cast stayed in character and finished the scene, and the director liked it so much he kept it as the final version.
She had on a real tight skirt and sweater kind of thing, sort of glued on. She was wearing red shoes with high heels.
Was she wearing hose?
No, she was bare-legged.

Mrs. Joseph Welch ... Juror (uncredited)
1.
The part of the judge was offered to both Spencer Tracy and Burl Ives, but instead went to Joseph N. Welch who was a lawyer in real life who had represented the U.S. Army in the televised Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954.
2.
The part played by Lee Remick was first offered to Lana Turner, who agreed to take it on the condition that she would wear gowns designed exclusively by her personal couturier, Jean Louis.
2.5
When director Otto Preminger objected that such gowns were not suitable for the role, Turner turned down the part. Columbia was ready to give in to Turner's demands but Preminger resisted and gave the role to Remick, then almost a beginner.
3.
The Lee Remick part was turned down by Jayne Mansfield.
4.
Otto Preminger originally wanted Lee Remick for the part of Laura because he had been impressed with her debut in A Face in the Crowd (1957) and knew that she could play a young sultry woman (even though Remick was 8 months pregnant when Preminger approached her for the role).
4.5
A few weeks later he called to tell her that he had given the part to Lana Turner and instead offered her a smaller role of Mary Pilant, but Remick boldly refused. On an especially hectic day when Remick received a call saying that she had the part of Laura, she thought it was a joke and hung up.
4.6
It took another phone call to convince her that she truly did have the lead female role.
5.
James Stewart's father was so offended by the film, which he deemed "a dirty picture", that he took out an ad in his local newspaper telling people not to see it.
6.
Upon its original release, the film was banned in Chicago, Illinois.
7.
Part of the controversy surrounding this movie was because it included use of the words "bitch", "contraceptive", "panties", "penetration", "rape", "slut" and "sperm".
8.
The movie's poster was as #1 of "The 25 Best Movie Posters Ever" by Premiere.
9.
Otto Preminger disliked the use of flashbacks; hence there are none in the film.

Anatomy of a Murder (1959)
"You guys aren't the Zodiac killers or anything like that, are you?"
"1971 was a banner year for existential road movies, as Two-Lane Blacktop and Vanishing Point hit theaters within four months of each other, but Two-Lane Blacktop has stood the test of time as the stronger, more compelling picture." -- AllMovie

1.
Bruce Dern declined the role of "The Driver", later accepted by James Taylor.
2.
Kris Kristofferson was the first choice for the role of "The Driver".
3.
This would be Laurie Bird's (as the girl/hitchhiker) film debut. She would only star in two more films including Cockfighter (1974) and Annie Hall (1977) before taking her own life in New York in 1979.
4.
A drummer for the rock band The Beach Boys, Dennis Wilson gave his only acting performance in this film.
5.
According to the director's commentary on the first DVD release, the reason the movie took so long to release on DVD was Jim Morrison. Two Lane Blacktop's sound track has scenes in the movie where Doors music is playing in the background.
5.5
Monte Hellman and the producers had trouble initially securing permission from Morrison's estate to release the film with its original content of Doors music on to the medium of DVD. For obvious reasons, such DVD permission was not part of the original agreement with the Doors in 1972.
5.6
Eventually, the studio got permission to use the Doors music again and the DVD was released.
6.
This is the only time that James Taylor ever acted in a movie. He is the only one of the main actors in the film still alive today (2009).
7.
As of the 2007 Criterion DVD release, James Taylor had never seen the film. He says he would now like to see it.
"Kind Hearts and Coronets is an elegant black comedy that is perhaps too much remembered for the gimmick of having Alec Guinness play eight different murder victims and too little remembered for the fine performance of Dennis Price as the murderer."

仁心與冠冕 Kind Hearts and Coronets
104 min. 1949
Writing credits
Roy Horniman (novel)
Robert Hamer (screenplay)
John Dighton (screenplay)
Dennis Price ... Louis Mazzini
Valerie Hobson ... Edith D'Ascoyne
Joan Greenwood ... Sibella Holland
Alec Guinness ... The Duke / The Banker / The Parson / The General / The Admiral / Young Ascoyne / Young Henry / Lady Agatha
1.
The title refers to the following lines from Alfred Lord Tennyson's 1842 poem "Lady Clara Vere de Vere": "Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood."
2.
In addition to the eight roles played by Alec Guinness, a painting may be seen in the Duke's castle showing an ancestor - a painting for which Guinness sat.
3.
The right of peers to be tried in the House of Lords was abolished in 1949, the same year the film was released. The two were not connected, the right was abolished due to a combination of a Labour Government and reaction from a drunk driving case where the lordly defendant was tried in the House of Lords.
4.
Novelists Nancy Mitford and Evelyn Waugh were hired independently to work on various drafts of the script, though apparently none of their contributions survived in the film as shot.
5.
Alec Guinness described director Robert Hamer as a man "who looked and sounded like an endearing but scornful frog".
6.
Although tame by today's standards, Dennis Price's love scenes with the purring Joan Greenwood shocked Ealing Studios head Michael Balcon and almost led to a major re-edit of the finished film.
7.
Michael Balcon was known to have said to director Robert Hamer, "You are trying to sell that most unsaleable commodity to the British - irony. Good luck to you." It worked, of course; the film was a considerable success upon release.
8.
Alec Guinness liked the screenplay so much that he asked and was allowed to play all eight members of the D'Ascoyne family. Of these, the Vicar D'Ascoyne was his personal favorite.
9.
An alternate ending was required for the US, where distributors balked at the film's ambiguous ending (The US Production Code at the time stipulated that crime could not be seen to pay). These extra ten seconds were not kept by Ealing but were unearthed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where they had been quietly filed away in a film storage facility.
10.
SPOILER: Contrary to popular rumor, Dennis Price's character actually only killed six of the eight Alec Guinness characters. The second "victim," the bank manager, dies of a stroke or heart attack; Price had grown fond of him, and even says at one point he was glad he didn't have to kill him.
10.5
Another Guinness character, Admiral Horatio D'Ascoyne, goes down with his ship when the vessel collides with another, and is only seen saluting as the water rises over his head. This collision is possibly a reference to the real-life disaster which involved the battleships HMS Victoria and HMS Camperdown in 1893.
