Short description
A philistine in the art film business, Jeremy Prokosch is a producer unhappy with the work of his director. Prokosch has hired Fritz Lang to direct an adaptation of "The Odyssey," but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb at the box office, he brings in a screenwriter to energize the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Alberto Moravia’s novel “Contempt” (1954).
- When producer Carlo Ponti reproached Jean-Luc Godard for a lack of nudity on screen, he obediently filmed a panoramic view of the star’s naked body for the prologue.
- Jack Palance’s frightening immobility, which typecast him in villainous roles, was explained by the fact that he was burned in a plane during the war.
- There is an opinion that the bored film businessman Jeremy Prokosch was based on producer Joseph Levine, who constantly interfered with the filming process.
- Legend has it that Godard walked on his hands in front of Bardot on set: 'for every meter he walked, she agreed to shorten her hairstyle and skirt by a centimeter each.'
