Posted by: red at November 29, 2007 1:59 PMin the commentary by peter bogdanovich he said that buck henry called him up late one night frantic because he'd lost track of one of the bags while writing the screenplay!
ha!
Posted by: Brendan at November 29, 2007 2:08 PMhahahahaha I love that. Like: where did it go??
It's like Howard Hawks calling up Raymond Chandler - author of the original Big Sleep - and asking him, in the middle of filming, "Listen, Raymond - we are trying to figure out who pushed Owen off the pier - and nobody can figure it out - who did it??"
Raymond Chandler, who wrote the thing, had no idea.
HA!!!
