Which one(s) of you bro(s) went with me to see John Juston's "Wise Blood" at the Pike Place Theater way back when? I remember that the film's Producer was there and he talked about the film afterwards. I especially remember him talking about a scene where an old man turns and throws a few punches at a guy in a gorilla suit... Huston having done some boxing as a young man, took a lot if time showing the old guy how he should punch. This character in a gorilla suit comes up behind an old couple on a park bench at night and startles them - the woman screams and runs off, but the old man turns and gives the creature a few good shots to the head...
I watched the film again yesterday, for the first time in decades. The DVD has some updated interviews, one with Brad Dourif who played Hazel Motes.
