Hurry Sundown (Paramount 1967, Faye Dunaway, Michael Caine)

Published

on


Otto Preminger’s film about a heartless southern real estate developer (Michael Caine) trying to evict two poor families – one white, one black – was the first to be shot in the south with African-American leads. With a screenplay by Horton Foote, based on the best-selling novel by K. B. Gilden, this film also features performances by Faye Dunaway (the same year as her breakthrough performance in Bonnie and Clyde) and Jane Fonda, playing the developer’s wife. During location production in Louisiana, the film’s crew endured threats from the KKK and some vandalism, but state troopers prevented any further confrontations.

In pre-production for Hurry Sundown, Michael Caine met Vivien Leigh and asked her how she, a fellow English citizen, had managed to do a convincing southern accent for Gone With the Wind (1939). She told him to practice saying Four door Ford’ all day long.’
