After realizing that the film would never appeal to wide audiences, he cut the film down to 2 hours and 50 minutes in three days. After screening that version, the studio and producers loved it but knew that it was still too long.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A Patch of Blue (1965)?
a.		According to Gore Vidal, as recounted in The Celluloid Closet one of the script elements he was brought in to re-write was the relationship between Messala and Ben-Hur. Director William Wyler was concerned that two men who had been close friends as youths would not simply hate one another as a result of disagreeing over politics. Thus, Vidal devised a thinly veiled subtext suggesting the Messala and Ben-Hur had been lovers as teenagers, and their fighting was a result of Ben-Hur spurning Messala. Wyler was initially hesitant to implement the subtext, but agreed on the conditions that no direct reference ever be made to the characters sexuality in the script, that Vidal personally discuss the idea with Stephen Boyd, and not mention the subtext to Charlton Heston who, Wyler feared, would panic at the idea. After Vidal admitted to adding the homosexual subtext in public, Heston denied the claim, going so far as to suggest Vidal had little input into the final script, and his lack of screen credit was a result of his being fired for trying to add gay innuendo. Vidal rebutted by citing passages from Hestons 1978 autobiography, where the actor admitted that Vidal had authored much of the final shooting script.
b.		Hayley Mills was considered for lead role but was bypassed for unknown Elizabeth Hartman to cut costs.
c.		Some people confuse this movie as being a remake of Sleuth where Michael Caine gets to play the Laurence Olivier role with Christopher Reeve playing Caines role from that movie. It can be said that the Michael Caines part of Sidney Bruhl in this film is similar to Oliviers role in Sleuth (1972)_. This movie is not a remake of Sleuth but interestingly, twenty-five years after this film was made, Michael Caine did actually appear in a remake of Sleuth. The Sleuth remake had the same title and actually really did have Caine playing the Olivier role from the original Sleuth.
d.		The R-rated version of this film is part of Joe Sarnos Deep Throat Sex Comedy Collection (2009) DVD from Secret Key Motion Pictures.

b.		Shot in 1981, not released until 1986.
c.		Deep River was made for just less than $10,000 dollars over an 18 month span.
