Silk, satin, velvet, lace How shall I get it? Given, borrowed, bought, stolen.
What famous spy novel and movie are we talking about here?
- In this Oscar award-winning Hollywood movie for the best supporting actor, roughly only 30% of the film is in spoken English. The language which dominates the film is either French or German with a little Italian. This is highly unusual for a Hollywood production. Identify the movie.
- Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, this film is notorious for the number of production problems it had. Casting was an issue, and Coppola was so fed up at one point with the fact that so many actors had turned down his offer to star in the film that he threw his five Oscars out of his window. After finally hiring a lead, Harvey Keitel, Coppola changed his mind, fired him, and had to start the search all over. Martin Sheen eventually landed the part, but he had a heart attack, postponing filming even longer. Nature wasn't on the movie's side, either, as a typhoon ripped apart the first set, a fire destroyed important props, and a tiger stalked the production. After facing bankruptcy and the possibility of never finishing the film, Coppola finally saw his work come to fruition and he found a place in movie-making history. Identify the classic.
