Histoire

Modifier

Anecdotes
Ben Hecht's anti-British statements in the late 1940s (due to their involvement with Israel) so angered the nation that the UK prints replaced his name with a pseudonym, Lester Barstow.

Gaffes
At the beginning of the film, it is obvious that the store's "glass" doors have no glass in them whatsoever.

Citations
David Korvo: You were wise not to tell your husband, Mrs. Sutton. A successful marriage is usually based on what a husband and wife don't know about each other.

Autres versions
In the movie "Laura" also directed by Preminger and starring Gene Tierney some of the same works of art appear. A standing Buddha is owned by Constance Collier's character in Whirlpool and by Waldo Lydecker in Laura. Waldo Lydecker also owns a collection of masks that are also owned by Jose Ferrer in Whirlpool.

Charles Bickford's performance

Just watched this last night. I'm a fan of Otto Preminger and was therefore full of hopes, but after a terrific opening 20 minutes, it sort of falls away after all that I think. However, what a fantastic performance from Charles Bickford as the Lieutenant. Brilliant. Worth it to see his performance alone -- Ferrer is wonderful in the opening scene when he defends Gene Tierney and generally adds the right dosage of menace, but the self-hypnosis in the hospital bed is unlikely and the final ten minutes in the house are vaguely ridiculous. The relationship between him and Tierney is very strong however. It is sad to think that Tierney struggled so much health-wise, because to my mind she was the most beautiful of her generation and is utterly plausible in any of the movies that I have come across..
