Unable to find the 1962 John Huston/Montgomery Clift Freud biopic featuring Susannah York as his patient, I have settled on the 1972 Lorenzo Music/Bob Newhart psychodrama The Bob Newhart Show featuring Florida Friebus as his.
John Cleese and Terry Gilliam met while appearing in a West End production of the musical Half a Sixpence, starring Tommy Steele. It was in the same production that Cleese met his future wife Connie Booth. The book for Half a Sixpence was written by Beverley Cross, later married to Maggie Smith.
I think it heartbreaking that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Rylance never worked together. Matthew Warchus directed them both and certainly thought of them as artists with a deep kinship.
