Interesting facts

A Terrible Beauty is a 1960 drama film directed by Tay Garnett and starring Robert Mitchum, Anne Heywood, Dan O'Herlihy and Richard Harris. It was adapted from a 1958 novel of the same name written by Arthur Roth. The film was an international co-production between Mitchum's production company, D.R.M., and that of producer Raymond Stross.

Production

The editor Arthur Tanner recalled that director Garnett "was an alcoholic

unfortunately, although he was supposed to have been dried out... and Robert Mitchum and Richard Harris were the two principles so you can imagine there were a certain amount of problems on the picture. They were thrown out of nearly all the hotels around Dublin."

Raymond Stross and Anne Heywood fell in love and married during filming.
