in this case the dog.

1:26:07

We're in Audubon Park
in New Orleans for this.

1:26:19

Again, references to antiquity.

1:26:38

This shot right here

1:26:41

comes from the original Cat People,

1:26:44

where there is a similar
sort of shock effect

1:26:49

of the noise of a streetcar,
meant to scare you.

1:26:54

And the following scene in the pool
was also in the original.

1:27:00

This is Berry Berenson, Marisa's sister,
the wife of Tony Perkins at that time.

1:27:30

I probably saw the original

1:27:36

I don't know, three or four times
and then went on from there.

1:27:43

The script was sort of
based on the original film

1:27:47

but kept getting further away from it.

1:27:49

And the more interesting stuff we did,
the further we got from it

1:27:53

until we got into different
thematic areas altogether.
