Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scene set in the church where Laura lights a candle for Christine was mostly improvised. Originally intended to show the gulf between John's and Laura's mental states-John's denial and Laura's inability to let go-the script included two pages of dialogue to illustrate John's unease at Laura's marked display of grief. After a break in filming to allow the crew to set up the equipment, Donald Sutherland returned to the set and commented that he did not like the church, to which Julie Christie retorted that he was being "silly," and the church was "beautiful." Nicolas Roeg felt that the exchange was more true to life in terms of what the characters would actually say to each other, and that the scripted version was "overwritten," so opted to ditch the scripted dialogue and included the real-life exchange instead.
- GoofsWhen Laura leaves the hotel near the end to pursue John, she is wearing boots but is barelegged. Later in the chase as she scrambles over a boat, she is wearing the same boots but is now also wearing dark colored stockings/tights.
- Quotes
John Baxter: What are you reading?
Laura Baxter: I was just trying to find the answer to a question Christine was asking me: if the world's round, why is a frozen lake flat?
John Baxter: Huh. That's a good question.
Laura Baxter: [flipping through a book] Ah-ha. "Lake Ontario curves more than 3 degrees from its eastern most shore to its western most shore." So, frozen water really isn't flat!
John Baxter: Nothing is what it seems.
- Alternate versionsThe region 1 DVD released by Paramount contains the full love scene which was slightly trimmed for an "R" rating in the U.S.
