The “lousiest” movie Stanley Kubrick ever made, according to Kirk Douglas
He was not a fan.
400 days of continuous filming.
The organisation was never far away from the director’s work.
He definitely had plenty of time to explore.
The star mounted a passionate defence.
Forbidden and alluring words of mystery.
Sexual liberation, alluring provocation and a reference to Beethoven.
“It’s like a visceral reaction. There’s passion behind it.”
His very best offering.
