  • siddarthsid @Imo, Dunaway is too young to play Catherine in 1965, especially when paired opposite Papa Douglas who was pushing 50 at the time. However, she'd be perfect for an early-mid 70s version (during her Chinatown/Network days), directed by De Palma or Polanski.

    • maxhedroom   @siddarthsid You are probably right, even though there's a big difference between Douglas and Stone in the original, it's probably too much here.
