Now I suppose coastal Italy is a pretty sunny, brighty place, but the film still seems to overdo the light.</p>The Worst of Perth commented on 'THE U-SUAL SUSPECTS'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e55367c79d88342008-06-12T02:46:33Z2008-06-12T02:46:33ZThe Worst of Perth http://theworstofperth.com/I've watched it a couple of times and it is pretty good, however the copies I saw in VHS days...<p>I've watched it a couple of times and it is pretty good, however the copies I saw in VHS days were terrible, and really marred the experience. Must try it again now we're in disk era. Where was S Greenstreet for this?

<p>There's a great photo in Huston's autobiography, "An Open Book' (and a great read. He writes like he directs) from the BTD set of the Assistant Director and Capote carrying a litter on which reclines Huston dressed up as an Aztec Princess. Obviously some part of the creative process that I am personally unfamilar with.</p>
<p>Huston also wrote that Morley almost had be physically restrained from trying to steal every scene he was in, that Jennifer Jones was the most unusual actor he'd ever directed and that the wonderful old limo in the film was bought on location from a bullfighter who'd had it customised so he could stand up inside the car to take his bows.</p>RT commented on 'THE U-SUAL SUSPECTS'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e55365e87b88342008-06-11T10:17:20Z2008-06-11T10:17:20ZRTThis is the type of movie where you'd like to be a fly-on-the-wall-on-the-set-in-some-capacity type gopher.
