Director

Euzhan Palcy

Stars: Donald Sutherland, Janet Suzman, Zakes Mokae, Marlon Brando, Susan Sarandon, Jurgen Prochnow and Michael Gambon as the Magistrate.

Music by David Grusin

Marlon Brando decreed that his lines be audio-transmitted to him via a closed-circuit receiver earplug that he would wear in his ear, which Brando claimed was for artistic reasons.

With this movie, writer and director Euzhan Palcy became the first Black woman to direct a major Hollywood movie.

Source novelist André Brink's (source) novel, "A Dry White Season" (1979), was banned in his native homeland of South Africa.

In the court scene, McKenzie (Marlon Brando) was supposed to insult the magistrate and be removed from the courtroom by two guards. Writer and Director Euzhan Palcy did four takes of the scene, but ultimately decided that the scene was too unintentionally comical. According to Palcy, Brando called her afterwards and confronted her about her decision, insisting that he liked the scene and wanted it to stay in this movie to show that the law meant nothing in South Africa. He allegedly threatened to slander her name throughout Hollywood, but she refused to back down and the scene was cut.

According to Marlon Brando in his memoirs, he felt the movie could have had a stronger story and that the director was out of her depth regarding the subject matter. Brando claimed he attempted to have the finished product re-edited but to no avail. The actor was disappointed by the film's disastrous performance at the box office.

When Marlon Brando's close friend Karl Malden saw the film, he wrote a letter to Brando that said, "I don't care if you are 50 pounds or 500 pounds. You are a freaking genius." Brando kept the letter until the day he died.

Little Murders (Pequenos Assassinatos), de Alan Arkin (1971)

Patsy Newquist (Marcia Rodd) is an interior decorator in New York City who rescues a man (Elliott Gould as Alfred Chamberlain) from a prolonged beating that she hears going on outside of her apartment. When she does intervene the group of hooligans turns on her and Alfred does nothing but walk away. After she escapes them, she confronts Alfred about this, who does not apologize. In fact he says nothing. Patsy is instantly smitten by this self acclaimed "apathist", and sets out to make him see life is good and get him trying again - at anything. He is her project, yet she sees this as love.

Alan Arkin plays a cop driven mad by all of the homicides in which the victims come from every walk, age, and ethnicity and none of them apparently knew their assailants.

Donald Sutherland has a small but memorable role as pastor of the First Existential Church who is able to grant Alfred and Patsy's request that the name of the deity not be mentioned in their wedding ceremony.

Klute, O Passado Condena (1971), de Alan Pakula.

Donald Sutherland interpreta o personagem-título, Klute, embora a real protagonista seja Jane Fonda, que ganhou o Oscar em 1972 pela sua interpretação.

Klute é um investigador particular é contratado para encontrar um amigo desaparecido, Tom Gruneman, a despeito de que Klute não seja um especialista em pessoas desaparecidas.

A única pista, que ele tem, é uma carta erótica escrita por Tom para uma garota de programa de Manhattan, chamada Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda), uma cara garota de programa que costuma cobrar US$ 200 por caso, o que equivaleria hoje a aproximadamente R$1.200,00.

Com essa pista, Klute vai a Nova York investigar o caso e encontrar Bree. Ele a chantageia com algumas fitas, que ele gravou dela, para que ela o ajude. Bree diz que ouve coisas e sente que alguém a está seguindo.

Sutherland e Jane tiveram uma relação romântica não exclusiva fora das telas, que durou até Junho de 1972. Ele foi seu par na cerimônia do Oscar, quando ela ganhou o prêmio de melhor atriz.

Segunda sua autobiografia, Jane Fonda disse que esteve com prostitutas e cafetões durante uma semana antes de começar o filme. Quando nenhum dos cafetões se ofereceu para "representá-la", ela se convenceu de que não era desejável o necessário para fazer o papel e chegou a pedir ao diretor para trocá-la pela amiga Faye Dunaway.

Quando Jane Fonda pediu ao seu pai uma sugestão do que dizer se ganhasse o Oscar, ele disse: "Há muito o que dizer, mas não vou dizer nesta noite."

Há uma ponta de Sylvester Stallone no filme. Tente descobrir em que parte.

Além de Donald Sutherland e Jane Fonda, outro astro famoso a participar do filme é Roy Scheider.
