joneo 556 Posted May 15, 2006 Hadn't seen it in over 20 years so basically it was relatively "new" to me other than the general plot. Very entertaining movie and some GREAT dialogue. Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewbieJr 541 Posted May 15, 2006 Wasn't a very-young Michael Douglass the producer or director or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyGavin 790 Posted May 15, 2006 Wasn't a very-young Michael Douglass the producer or director or something? from imdb.com Kirk Douglas starred in the 1963 Broadway production after buying the film rights prior to publication; he later passed the film rights to his son Michael Douglas, but kept a percentage of the profits. Every major studio had declined to make the film during the period he was trying to star in it. Kirk Douglas had met Milos Forman in Prague while on a State Department tour and promised to send him the book after deciding he would be a good director for the film; the book never arrived, probably confiscated by communist Czech censors. Ken Kesey wrote a screenplay for the production, but Forman rejected it because Kesey insisted on keeping Chief Bromden's first-person narration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,676 Posted May 15, 2006 Wasn't a very-young Michael Douglass the producer or director or something? Kirk Douglas possessed the movie rights for a long time, before his son Michael Douglas finally started the project. According to Michael Douglas, director Milos Forman had his heart set on Burt Reynolds to play the part of McMurphy. Though veteran cinematographer Haskell Wexler is credited here as DP, he was actually replaced by Bill Butler early in the shoot due to various creative differences with producer Michael Douglas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joneo 556 Posted May 15, 2006 Dr. Spivey: Well, the real reason that you've been sent over here is because they wanted you to be evaluated... to determine whether or not you are mentally ill. This is the real reason. McMurphy: Well, as near as I can figure out, it's 'cause I, uh, fight and fuck too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

torridjoe 48 Posted May 15, 2006 I saw it for the first time a couple of months ago. It was pretty good. It's hard to find movies without happy endings any more. Just watched Match Point, and there's no happy ending in that one--unless getting away with a crime qualifies. Scarlett Johannson was ultra-hot in it, by the way.
