Curiosidades

The Statue is a 1971 British comedy film starring David Niven, Robert Vaughn, and Virna Lisi and directed by Rodney Amateau. John Cleese and Graham Chapman appear in early career roles as the Niven character's psychiatrist and a newsreader, respectively. Niven plays a Nobel Prize-winning professor who suspects his wife, played by Lisi, of infidelity when she makes and unveils an 18-foot statue of him with private parts recognisably not his own. The film is based on the play called Chip, Chip, Chip by Alec Coppel.

Production

"Charlie" by the Statuettes – lyrics by Norman Newwell, music by Riz Ortolani

The film was the second in a proposed six-film slate from producer Joseph Shaftel which was going to cost £7 million in all and be distributed by Cinerama. The Statue, The Last Grenade, Goodbye Gemini (originally called Ask Agamemnon) and Say Hello to Yesterday were made. Masada and The Mind of the Assassin from Ken Hughes were not.

Dyan Cannon and Robert Culp were originally announced as supporting David Niven. "It's a fun role, in a fun picture", said Virna Lisi.

Filming began in Rome on 1 May 1970 at Cinecittà Studios.
