Intimacy (1966)

Interesting facts

Intimacy is a 1966 American film directed and produced by Victor Stoloff. It was shot in Birmingham, Alabama during two weeks in January 1965.

Production

When reported in early 1964, the film was originally set to star actors Stuart Whitman, Dana Wynter, Cloris Leachman and Albert Salmi with an anticipated shooting time of just three days on a newly developed tape-plus-film process. The script was written by Eva Wolas, who had done a lot of script writing for the anthology series Playhouse 90.

The film was shot in Birmingham, Alabama over a two-week period in January 1965. However, the only scene that visibly features the city is an exterior shot of downtown at the beginning of the film, while no mention is made to the filming location within the credits. Producer Jack L. Stoloff and actor Jack Ging praised the hospitality of the local community.

Principal photography began on January 6 and wrapped around January 21, 1965. The relatively short shooting schedule was made possible by conducting rehearsals in Hollywood prior to location filming. Stoloff stated that the film was completed for less than 20% of the typical cost of a Hollywood production, with cooperation of the local population contributing towards cost efficiencies.
