Famous Don’t Look Now Controversy Rears Its Head Again

Don’t Look Now might be a brilliantly cerebral horror film, but the film is more famous for something a bit more scandalous. The steamy sex scene between leads Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland has been thought of by some as too steamy to be just a scene.



Christie and Sutherland have had to constantly deny the notion that the two actually engaged in intercourse while filming the scene. Now the controversy rears its ugly head again. In his book Famous Players: A Tale of Movies, The Mob, (And Sex), Former Variety Editor Peter Bart asserts that he saw them getting intimate during his time on the set.

The Daily Mail relays that Sutherland denies these claims and calls them “mendacious.”

Though I’m not ruling it out of the question entirely, I honestly don’t think that Christie and Sutherland actually engaged in such behavior. As is stated in the link, editing can really make a scene.

Bart wants to sell books folks-T

What do you think about the scene: real or fake?
