For the "Cheek to Cheek" number,

saw the dress, they knew it would be impractical for the dance. Sandrich suggested that Rogers wear the white gown she had worn performing "Night and Day" in

Ginger Rogers
wore the blue feathered dress for the first time during filming, and as Astaire and Sandrich had feared, feathers started coming off the dress. Astaire later claimed it was like "a chicken being attacked by a coyote". In the final film, some stray feathers can be seen drifting off it. To patch up the rift between them, Astaire presented Rogers with a locket of a gold feather. This was the origin of Rogers nickname "Feathers".

danced with a clumsy, comical dancer played by

Bizarrely, the origins of this film are to be found in a never-made documentary about professional wrestling. Director
John McNaughton
had worked for the Ali brothers (
Waleed B. Ali
&
Malik B. Ali
) as a delivery man with their video equipment rental business during the late 70s, and Waleed and McNaughton had always vowed to make a film together at some stage in the future. Several years later, the Ali brothers hired McNaughton to direct a documentary about organized crime in Chicago entitled
Dealers in Death
. The film was well received and turned a profit, and the brothers were happy with McNaughtons directorial work. As such, they hired him to shoot a second documentary, this time about the professional wrestling in Chicago. A collection of previously thought lost VHS tapes showing wrestling in Chicago during the 1950s had been unearthed, and the brothers had agreed to purchase the tapes from the owner for use in the documentary. However, when the brothers went to buy the tapes, the owner doubled his price at the last minute, and the brothers pulled out of the deal. Waleed then had the idea to use the money set aside for the documentary to instead make a feature film, and he kept McNaughton on as director, offering him $100,000 to make a horror movie. Waleed didnt care what the film was about, he just wanted something in the horror genre. McNaughton had no idea what to write about until he saw an episode of the show
20/20
about
Henry Lee Lucas
, and he decided that his subject matter was not going to be a demon, a monster or an extra terrestrial, but a normal human being.
