1.

Average Shot Length = ~9.2 seconds. Median Shot Length = ~8.6 seconds.

2.

During the cursed video in The Ring (2002), about 25 seconds in, a young boy's muffled singing can faintly be heard. This audio track is taken from "The Innocents".

3.

Much of the screenplay is not actually derived from Henry James's novella "The Turn of the Screw" but from William Archibald's 1950 Broadway adaptation "The Innocents".

4.

Kate Bush was inspired by the film to pen the song "The Infant Kiss" which appears on her 1980 album "Never For Ever".

5.

To create such sharp visuals, director of photography Freddie Francis used lots of huge bright lamps. Deborah Kerr sometimes had to resort to wearing sunglasses between takes.

6.

Director Jack Clayton turned down the offer of Cary Grant to play the uncle.

7.

Jack Clayton was dismayed to learn that 20th Century Fox insisted on making the film in CinemaScope. His cinematographer Freddie Francis set about making that less of a problem by framing the wide horizontal frame with lots of vertical lines to break it up. Conversely, he also used the wide space to emphasize shadowy spaces and using the emptiness towards an unsettling effect. To that end, he would often place characters at opposite ends of the frame.

8.

The film opens with a creepy song written by Paul Dehn and Georges Auric sung over a black screen for about 45 seconds before the 20th Century Fox logo appears. In some cinemas, the projectionists assumed this was a mistake on the print and edited the film so it began with the appearance of the Fox logo.

9.

Harold Pinter and John Mortimer also worked on the screenplay. The former advised Jack Clayton that he should not use flashbacks, and the latter was brought in to "Victorianize" the script.

10.

Deborah Kerr always regarded this as her finest performance.

11.

Jack Clayton didn't want the children to be exposed to the darker themes of the story, so they never saw the screenplay in its entirety. The children were given their pages the day before they were to be filmed.

12.

François Truffaut regarded this as the best British film since Alfred Hitchcock had left for America.

13.

When the governess first arrives at the house, it's a bright, sunny day. In fact, Freddie Francis had had some of the trees painted lighter to exaggerate this.

14.

Quint's unworldly appearance at the window was achieved by putting actor Peter Wyngarde on a trolley and wheeling him up to and then away from the window.

15.

Freddie Francis used so many lights that he was jokingly accused of trying to burn down Shepperton Studios.

16.

At one point when Deborah Kerr's character wanders around the house at night with only a candelabra for illumination, you might think you see something in the corner of your eye. You do. It's the clapperboard which had briefly wandered into shot. Jack Clayton decided to keep it in because he liked the idea of something almost subliminal being present to add to the air of unease.

塵霧家園 House of Sand and Fog

126 min. 2003



Writing credits

Andre Dubus III (novel)

Vadim Perelman (screenplay)  

Shawn Lawrence Otto (screenplay)



Jennifer Connelly ...  Kathy

Ben Kingsley ...  Behrani

Ron Eldard ...  Lester

Frances Fisher ...  Connie Walsh

Kim Dickens ...  Carol Burdon

Shohreh Aghdashloo ...  Nadi

Jonathan Ahdout ...  Esmail 



1.

SPOILER: In the scene near the end of the movie where Kathy pulls into her driveway and tries to shoot herself, Jennifer Connelly accidentally put the car in "reverse" instead of "park", and almost severely damaged the camera positioned in the car door. After Connelly apologized profusely, she was urged by the director to continue the scene, and it ended up being one of the best takes. This is the take shown in the final print. 









煤氣燈下 Gaslight

Directed by

George Cukor     

Writing credits

John Van Druten (screen play)  

Walter Reisch (screen play) 

John L. Balderston (screen play)

Patrick Hamilton (based upon the play by)



Charles Boyer ...  Gregory Anton 



Ingrid Bergman ...  Paula Alquist

1945 Academy Awards Best Actress in a Leading Role



Joseph Cotten ...  Brian Cameron

Dame May Whitty ...  Miss Thwaites

Angela Lansbury ...  Nancy

1945 Nominated Academy Awards Best Actress in a Supporting Role

Barbara Everest ...  Elizabeth

Emil Rameau ...  Maestro Guardi

Tom Stevenson ...  Williams

Heather Thatcher ...  Lady Dalroy 



1.

When this film was produced, the studio attempted to have all prints of the previous version, Gaslight (1940) destroyed. These efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, though the film was rarely seen for the next few decades.

2.

The aria that Ingrid Bergman is singing when we see her in the first scene of her in the present day is from the Gaetano Donizetti opera "Lucia Di Lammermoor". The opera is famous for its so-called "mad scene", in which the eponymous Lucia goes insane.

3.

Ingrid Bergman spent some time in a mental institution to research her role, studying a woman who had suffered a nervous breakdown.

4.

Angela Lansbury was only 17 when she made this, her film debut. She had been working at Bullocks Department Store in Los Angeles and when she told her boss that she was leaving, he offered to match the pay at her new job. Expecting it to be in the region of her Bullocks salary of the equivalent of $27 a week, he was somewhat taken aback when she told him she would be earning $500 a week.

5.

The first time Ingrid Bergman met Charles Boyer was the day they shot the scene where they meet at a train station and kiss passionately. As Boyer was several inches shorter than his co-star, he had to stand on a box, which she kept inadvertently kicking as she ran into the scene.

6.

The sets are deliberately overfilled with bric-a-brac to emphasize Paula's increasing sense of claustrophobia.

7.

Both Irene Dunne and Hedy Lamarr both turned down the chance to play Paula.

8.

The book from which Ingrid Bergman reads aloud is "Villette" by Charlotte Brontë.

9.

New scenes not in the original play were added to this version of "Gaslight", and the names of most of the characters were changed. The character that Joseph Cotten plays in this version was changed from a stout, humorously sardonic elderly man to a young, handsome one in order to serve as a potential love interest for Ingrid Bergman in the film, and in order to appeal more to the audience.

I don't know. What?

A fungi.



"The two films are vastly different in structure, however. And while the ostentatious reverse narrative of Memento makes it more memorable, as it were, The Lookout earns big points for seeming like something that might actually happen."

1.

Leonardo DiCaprio said that playing Arnie was "the most fun I've ever had".

2.

Johnny Depp felt bad about having to ridicule Darlene Cates's character "Momma" and would often apologize to her after shooting. Depp once said to Cates, "Man, I want you to know how much I hated having to say those things about you, or about your character."

3.

Leonardo DiCaprio created Arnie's trademark flicking his finger against his nose, describing it as a sort of "brain wipe... like Arnie is massaging the inside of his brain."

4.

When getting into character, Leonardo DiCaprio remarked of it: "I had to really research to get into the mind of somebody like that. I spent a few days at a home for mentally retarded teens. We just talked and I watched their mannerisms. People have these expectations that mentally retarded children are really crazy, but that isn't so. It's refreshing to see them because everything's so new to them."

6.

This was one of the first feature films shot using Sony's 24P HD video, which shoots at 24 frames per second, like film, as opposed to the 30 frames per second of conventional NTSC video.

Using this technology, Brad Anderson and director of photography Uta Briesewitz were able to produce the uniquely effective, deep-focus images using mostly natural light.

2.

The fictional "Patricia Willard scandal" at Danvers State Hospital, cited by Mike at the film's beginning, strongly appears to have been inspired by a real-life wave of problematic "Satanism and sex-abuse" allegations that swept the United States circa the 1980s,

including (among others) one involving the Amirault family in nearby Malden, Massachusetts. Reporter Dorothy Rabinowitz won a Pulitzer Prize for her book chronicling that bizarre case, "No Crueler Tyrannies: Accusation, False Witness, and Other Terrors of Our Times," in 2001.
