She rattled along because she respected his work and loved the script but then during a set-up he reached in and plucked a hair out of her head that he said was in the way and it was full on knives out from that point on. <br /><br />Now Faye is famously mercurial and notoriously difficult to work with so you have to take that with a grain of salt. However Polanski is also known to be autocratic on his sets at times and the hair yanking incident has been commented on by others. Aside from that it seems a case of two strong personalities that didn't meld well but turned out a great piece of work. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-89499020448849678052021-09-27T23:27:35.997+03:002021-09-27T23:27:35.997+03:00True enough about noir, flawed characters and blea...True enough about noir, flawed characters and bleak endings, but I still think there is a particular seventies statement with the insufficient hero. He is sort of a Dirty Harry missing the train.<br /><br />I did read about the fiery relation between Polanski and Dunaway, though I did not catch the details. Something about that she claimed she was abused by him?

She and Polanski DID NOT get along during filming to the degree that they practically came to blows but somehow it never shows in either her work or the film, both are seamlessly. <br /><br />The story is seedy and ultimately unpleasant and the ending does have echoes of 70's grit, but it is also a very noir ending that echoes the blackest classics like Out of the Past and Too Late for Tears. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-62016876418879116632021-09-25T23:42:47.305+03:002021-09-25T23:42:47.305+03:00I have not watched Godfather II yet, but it will h...I have not watched Godfather II yet, but it will have to knock my socks off to beat Chinatown.
