What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on John Fowles' novel "The Collector" (1963).
  • According to Terence Stamp, director William Wyler (1902-1981) didn't let Samantha Eggar out of his sight on set during the day. He didn't even allow her to eat lunch in anyone's company. As Stamp claimed, Wyler knew exactly what he was doing, because during filming the director once whispered to him: "I know it all seems cruel, but she will play even better because of it."
  • Serial killer Robert Berdella (1949-1992) cited this film as one of his sources of inspiration before committing his horrific crimes.
  • During the filming of the scene where Freddy (played by Terence Stamp) drags Miranda, played by Samantha Eggar, through the rain, the film's director William Wyler ordered that the actress be doused with several buckets of water between takes without warning. Eggar later said that this made her feel incredibly "helpless," which positively affected her performance.
  • According to Samantha Eggar, the ending of the film "The Collector" could be considered illegal because Freddy got away with murder, and showing something like that on screen was forbidden at the time. However, during a preview screening, the censor John Trevelyan (1903-1986) – who had recently married a woman almost twice his age – fell asleep and didn't see the ending of the film. Otherwise, the actress said, "either the film would have been different, or someone would have been arrested, probably."

Eggar later said that this made her feel incredibly “vulnerable,” which positively affected her performance.
  • According to Samantha Eggar, the ending of "The Collector" could be considered unlawful because Freddy got away with murder, and showing something like that on screen was prohibited at the time. However, during the preview screening, censor John Trevelyan (1903-1986) – who had recently married a woman almost half his age – fell asleep and didn't see the film's ending. Otherwise, the actress said, "either the film would have been different, or someone would have been arrested, probably."
