FILM 2322: WHAT LIES BENEATH (2000)
TRIVIA: Director Robert Zemeckis filmed this while production for Cast Away (2000) was shut down (so Tom Hanks could lose weight for his character).
Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford were director Robert Zemeckis's first and only choices for the lead roles of Claire and Norman Spencer.
Michelle Pfeiffer had a bizarre habit of nodding "yes" when she was making an affirmative statement to her husband (Ford) and nodding "no" when her lines were in the negative, as if to convince the audience of the truth of her words. This is a well-known acting crutch that novice actors are taught to drop in Acting 101. (It looks contrived as people do not do this in real life.)
ONE SENTENCE REVIEW: Some jumps: I remember seeing this in the cinema at the time and being a little disappointed, but it’s not aged too badly.
