Short description
A man kidnaps a woman and holds her hostage just for the pleasure of having her there.
What's left behind the scenes
- According to Terence Stamp, director William Wyler (1902-1981) did not let Samantha Eggar leave the set during the day. He didn’t even allow her to eat during lunch breaks with anyone else. As Stamp claimed, Wyler knew exactly what he was doing, because during filming the director once whispered to him: “I know it looks cruel, but she will act even better because of it.”
- During the filming of the scene where Freddy (played by Terence Stamp) drags Miranda, played by Samantha Eggar, in 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 “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."
- The film is based on John Fowles’ novel “The Collector” (1963).
- Serial killer Robert Berdella (1949-1992) cited this film as one of his sources of inspiration before committing his horrific crimes.
