Yesterday I mentioned one of my old friends, Alfred...
Later I received a message asking me if my friend Alfred was really THAT Alfred one might think of, considering the fact I had also told you about his activity as director.
Well, I went up to the attic and knew if I looked carefully enough I would find an old movie poster I had put in a trunk.
Just to tell you all the truth, you will never see this movie, even though it’s the original version of a film remade a little later.
Alfred didn’t want to direct it again in the second version, but was obliged by the producers...They wanted to add a commercial scene in a shower, which I had refused to play...
Oh, it’s not the case to judge now, probably you know the second version of the movie with the shower scene, but believe me, the original version was good too and I played my role with a lot of empathy!
Alfred had also another idea for a thriller. He was obsessed by thrillers and wanted to make a movie called “Bees”, where he imagined a lot of bees which suddenly became wild, attacking a peaceful community of bears. He had asked me to play the starring role, of course...
Unluckily things didn’t work out well, but Alfred kept the idea, which he developed later with birds in the place of bees.
He was not very happy. I remember he told me:
“Violet, without you the movie cannot be that good...”
But this is another story....
