UNMENTIONABLES
· Billy Wilder got the idea for The Apartment after watching David Lean's Brief Encounter (1945).
· Hitchcock shot Psycho in black-and-white on an $800,000 budget to resemble the exploitation quickies that were so popular at drive-ins.
· The provincial censor for Ontario started cutting the dialogue of Elmer Gantry when prostitute Shirley Jones told her fellow hookers, "He rammed the fear of God into me."
· Sons and Lovers director Jack Cardiff's first film this year was Scent of Mystery, the first movie in Smell-O-Vision.
· Spartacus star/producer Kirk Douglas replaced director Anthony Mann with 32-year-old Stanley Kubrick, who had not been able to get a job for 2 years after the critical success and box-office failure of Paths of Glory.
· A victim of the blacklist, Jules Dassin had moved to Europe in 1951. With $150,000, he wrote, directed, and co-starred in Never on Sunday, a comedy about an American in Greece who tries to reform a golden- hearted prostitute, played by Dassin's real-life fiancée, Melina Mercouri. The film pulled in $8 million worldwide.
· John Wayne spent 14 years putting The Alamo project together, raising the $12-million budget by convincing two oilmen and the Yale Foundation, among others, to invest in what The Hollywood Reporter called, "the most expensive picture made entirely on U.S. soil."
· Laurence Harvey went directly from from playing Col. Wm. Travis in The Alamo to the set of Butterfield 8, where he played a wandering husband enlisting the services of call girl Elizabeth Taylor.
· Taylor called Butterfield 8 "the most pornographic script I have ever read." However, she was obligated to do one more picture for MGM, and Fox was dangling a cool million in front of her for Cleopatra. She did the picture on three conditions: it would be filmed in New York instead of Hollywood; Helen Rose would design her costumes and Sydney Guilaroff her hairdos; and husband Eddie Fisher would play the one male character she doesn't sleep with. Despite the film's box-office success, Taylor carped, "I still say it stinks."
· In his Oscar® campaign, John Wayne spent $75,000 on 43 ads for The Alamo in the trade papers.
· A few hours after learning he was not nominated for Best Director, Richard Brooks saw a truck run into his sports car.
· Peter Falk scored a coup by being nominated for his Supporting Role in a 'B' movie. He became one of the most sought-after guest stars for TV, with many courting him to star in his own series.
· Chill Wills's campaign for a Supporting Actor Award is legendary. See his Biography page for more details.
· Elizabeth Taylor had been in a London hospital for a month, and her condition took a turn for the worse a few weeks before the ceremony. She came down with a severe case of pneumonia, and doctors described her condition as "grave" after performing a tracheotomy. But Taylor recovered and indicated she'd be there in Santa Monica on Oscar® night.
· All the other Best Actress nominees abandoned hope. Mercouri toyed with the notion of asking the other nominees to drop out of the race with her and let Liz win unanimously, but she dropped the idea.
· Shirley MacLaine, who was in Japan filming My Geisha, called Taylor and asked Liz to accept for her if she won for The Apartment. Liz said she'd be delighted to, but nobody could imagine Taylor staggering to the podium for someone else's benefit.
· After receiving her 7th statuette, Edith Head commented backstage, "There's nothing like a row of Oscars® on a dress designer's desk for putting the fear of God into an actress who thinks she knows everything about dress designing."
· Danny Kaye appeared to accept an Honorary Award for Stan Laurel, whose partner Oliver Hardy had died four years earlier. Since Laurel was ill and unable to attend, he wanted his friend Jerry Lewis to accept for him, but the Academy, for some reason, insisted on Kaye.
· Jimmy Stewart accepted the Honorary Award for his close friend, Gary Cooper. He began to weep during his speech and the audience buzzed -- just how sick was Cooper? Stewart had just learned, along with a few other Cooper intimates, that the beloved star was suffering from incurable cancer. On May 13, 1961, about one month later Cooper died at the age of 60. Stewart didnt' give any facts, but exited tearfully.
· In a Dior gown that didn't conceal her scar, Elizabeth Taylor accepted her Best Actress Award. She walked off to tumultuous applause, proceeded to a backstage bathroom, and fainted.
