1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Scarlet Letter (1926)?
a.
Lillian Gish
learned that her mother had had a stroke in London and her sister,
Dorothy Gish
, urged her to get there on the first available boat. When Lillian informed director
Victor Sjöström
of the need to finish the film quickly, he created a shooting schedule that crammed two weeks worth of shooting into three days of non-stop work. The crew worked without complaint so that she could finish the film early and catch the earliest possible train to New York.
b.
According to a Don Simpson interview, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were also considered for the role that went to Denzel Washington.
c.
Although
Alanis Morissette
is only onscreen as God for a few minutes at the end of the film, she has two different costumes. The second, a white dress with a metallic bodice and jacket, was designed by French haute couturier Christian Lacroix and was by far the most expensive outfit in the movie. Appropriately, given the plot and Catholic themes of this movie, the designers first and last names are both references to Christianity, "Lacroix" meaning "the cross" in French, and "Christian" meaning, well, Christian.
d.
The first draft of the script by
Deborah Dean Davis
was never read by director
Andy Tennant
. The second writer
Jeff Schechter
s draft made this a "go" picture with Rysher Entertainment. Tennant was hired, and offered help for the pictures problems. He and his writing partner Rick Parks rewrote Schecters draft. Tennant and Parks were rewritten by the producers Cruickshank. The studio preferred Tennant and Parks draft with notes, so Tennant and Parks took another pass. The WGAW ruled against any other writers credits due to biased by-laws which disallowed Writer/Directors with partners from receiving credits on features unless in extreme circumstances. None of Davis dialogue was used.
