Exposed is a 1983 American drama film written, produced and directed by James Toback. It stars Nastassja Kinski, Rudolf Nureyev, Harvey Keitel, Ian McShane and Bibi Andersson.

Production

James Toback claims he tried for a number of years to get the film financed but was unsuccessful. He says he won $2 million gambling in Las Vegas and spent a portion of this to bribe David Begelman, then head of MGM, to get him to authorise MGM to finance the film. MGM provided a budget of $18 million of which Toback's fee was $500,000. Filming took 80 days. Serge Silberman was executive producer.

Toback says he based the script on a romance he had with an airline stewardess.

"I've changed roughly 80% of the script I showed MGM," he said later, "and I write and rewrite every night."

This movie was filmed on UVM campus in Burlington, VT.

It was the last film role for Ron Randell before his death in 2005.
