1:29:07
use as many
erotic components as we could.
1:29:28
Irena here, after having
had her vision on the train,
1:29:33
has come back and now
is no longer the conflicted young girl
1:29:38
but is the cat person.

The film is now
coming into its final stretch -
1:30:02
this odd darkroom in a bedroom, which

We didn't really
preview this film much.
1:30:15
Back then, not every film was previewed.
1:30:19
In fact, most films weren't previewed.
1:30:22

I remember the day it opened
at the Avco cinema
1:30:39
on Wiltshire Boulevard in Westwood,
1:30:42
Jerry Bruckheimer and the producer
and I went to the first screening,
1:30:48
we sat in the back
1:30:50
and there were
a couple of teenage girls in front of us
1:30:53
and when it came to the bondage scene,
1:30:57
when Oliver is tying up
the naked Irena to the bed
