:02:03
I suppose the next most important name
would be John Bailey.
:02:08
I've done five films with John.
:02:13
This is one of the films
that I call a beauty film,
:02:20
as opposed to some films I've done
that are a little more
:02:24
harder edged.
:02:29
This is before digital
:02:31
so you're looking at matte paintings
:02:34
and the magic of Albert Whitlock.
:02:39
This was one of Whitlock's last big jobs
:02:44
before he retired and the world changed
:02:49
and you no longer used paintings.
:02:59
This idea here of the cat myth
:03:05
came up subsequent
to the original script.
:03:12
As you pan up here you will be
panning into a Whitlock drawing.
:03:21
One regret I had
about the release of the film
:03:25
is I wished I had changed
the title of the film.
:03:28
The Jacques Tourneur film, Cat People,
:03:31
which this ostensibly was a remake of
but not much of a remake,
:03:37
if I had just changed the title
:03:40
I think those people would not have
beaten me up with the comparison.
:03:46
There isn't much of a comparison
between the two films
:03:50
other than the title and the premise that
:03:55
people change form.
:03:59
Lycanthropy.
