趣闻
One Way Pendulum is a 1965 British comedy film directed by Peter Yates and starring Eric Sykes and George Cole. It was adapted by N. F. Simpson from his 1959 play One Way Pendulum.
Production
Producer Michael Deeley and director Peter Yates wanted to work on a project together and saw the play at the Royal Court Theatre. Yates was excited at the prospect of the material being so different from his first feature, Summer Holiday (1963), and Deeley managed to set up the film at Woodfall Film Productions, then flush with money in the wake of the success of Tom Jones (1963).
Simpson said he had received a number of offers to film the play but turned them down because he did not feel it was a movie. He changed his mind after a meeting with Yates where the director said the words were key to visual concepts. "He was the first film man I met I felt I could work with," said Simpson who wrote the script and was on set every day.
The film was the first from Woodfall to be shot in a studio and commenced filming at Twickenham Studios in March 1964.
