A rare collaboration, with Marshall Brickman, who died 29 November aged 85. "He's very companionable, witty and creative, wonderful to work with." They worked out the story between them, Woody did the writing. Actually our neighbour mentioned it as being the possible inspiration for Only Murders in the Building... don't think so, though it's definitely inspired by Rear Window.
It rains again.
The setting up of the ending is brilliant. We know it's an old cinema, showing old movies, that has mirrors all over the place, and we see Adler's assistant walks with a stick...
Woody's funny rejecting the whole idea, then becoming more and more nervous of its implications.
I would have to say that Carlo di Palma's operator, Dick Mingalone, is not the steadiest in the world.
