According to the new book Infamous Players: A Tale of Movies, the Mob, (and Sex),Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland weren't just showing off their acting chops when they got down and dirty in the supernatural thriller Don't Look Now(1973).
The book's author, Peter Bart, who was a Paramount executive at the time, visited Don't Look Now's Venice set on the day the sexy scene was filmed. Bart's attention was briefly distracted as filming began, and when he looked back, both Christie and Sutherland were completely naked and no longer playing pretend:
"It was clear to me they were no longer simply acting: they were f*cking on camera," Bart writes in his book.
According to Bart, a few months later a furious Warren Beatty, who was dating Christie at the time, stormed into Bart's office demanding that the scene be cut. He had seen director Nicholas Roeg's cut of the film, which was so graphic that Julie's juice box was clearly visible.
"I want to cut the movie with you, p*ssy hair by p*ssy hair..." Beatty reportedly told Bart.
