FILM 1495: THE LOBSTER
TRIVIA: The production worked
almost entirely with natural light and without make-up. Lighting was only used
for some night scenes.
Mainly filmed in and around the
Parknasilla Hotel in Sneem, County Kerry in Ireland.
The song that David and the
Short-sighted woman synchronize their CD players with and dance to in the
woods, is "Where The Wild Roses Grow" by Nick Cave & The Bad
Seeds featuring Kylie Minogue.
Jason Clarke was cast in
the lead role but he dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.

FILM 1181: A STREETCAR
NAMED DESIRE
TRIVIA: As the film progresses, the
set of the Kowalski apartment actually gets smaller to heighten the suggestion
of Blanche's increasing claustrophobia.
Vivien Leigh, who suffered
from bipolar disorder in real life, later had difficulties in distinguishing
her real life from that of Blanche DuBois.
Vivien Leigh had already
played Blanche in the first London production of the play, under the direction
of her then-husband, Laurence
Olivier. She later said that Olivier's direction of that production
influenced her performance in the film more than did Elia Kazan's direction of
the film.
Vivien Leigh, who was only
36 at the time of filming, had to be made up to look older.
Despite giving the definitive
portrayal of Stanley Kowalski, Marlon Brando
said he privately detested the character. However, it should be added that
Brando was an eccentric character who loved misleading people and playing
pranks.
As of 2014, it is one of only two
films in history to win three Academy awards for acting. The other is Network (1976).

FILM 1175: WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA
WOOLF?
TRIVIA: In this film, Elizabeth Taylor does an
exaggerated impression of Bette Davis
saying a line from Beyond the
Forest (1949): "What a dump!" In an interview with Barbara Walters, Bette Davis said that in
the film, she really did not deliver the line in such an exaggerated manner.
She said it in a more subtle, low-key manner, but it has passed into legend
that she said it the way Elizabeth
Taylor's delivered it in this film. During the Barbara Walters interview,
the clip of Bette Davis
delivering the line from Beyond the
Forest (1949) was shown to prove that Davis was correct. However,
since people expected Bette Davis
to deliver the line the way Elizabeth
Taylor had, she always opened her in-person, one woman show by
saying the line in a campy, exaggerated manner: "WHAT ... A...
DUMP!!!". It always brought down the house. "I imitated the imitators",
Davis said.
Every credited member of the cast
received an Academy Award nomination.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
(1966) became the first motion picture in Academy Awards and cinema history to
be nominated for every Academy Award category in which it was eligible,
including Best Adapted Screenplay (Lehman), Director (Nichols), all the acting
categories (Burton, Taylor, Segal, and Dennis), and Picture of the Year
(Lehman), since Cimarron
(1931).
Edward Albee said he came
up with the title when he saw the phrase written on a men's room wall in a New
York tavern.
Elizabeth Taylor gained
nearly 30 pounds to play the role of a middle-aged wife just for this film.
In her A&E Biography special, Elizabeth Taylor remarked
that her performance as Martha remains her personal best.
The fourth of eleven films that Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton starred in
together.
Richard Burton was heavily
criticized for playing his character with an English accent.
According to Edward Albee, the only
thing he doesn't like about the film is the over-use of over-head shots. He did
say, however, that he envisioned Bette Davis
and James Mason as Martha and
George rather than Taylor and Burton. If Davis had been cast, she would have
ended up parodying a line from one of her old films ("What a dump!")
in the opening scene.
