What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the novel of the same name by Irving Stone.
  • Some scenes of the film were shot in Auvers-sur-Oise, where Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) lived and died. Kirk Douglas (1916-2020) specifically styled his hair to match the artist's and dyed it the same color. Some elderly residents of the town even believed that Van Gogh himself had returned.
  • Director Vincente Minnelli (1903-1986) ordered part of the field to be painted yellow to make it more similar to a painting by Van Gogh.
  • Watching from the audience the scene in which Van Gogh supposedly cuts off his ear, a very young Michael Douglas and his brother Joel were frightened and fled the cinema screaming in horror.
