趣闻
Hennessy is a 1975 British thriller film directed by Don Sharp and starring Rod Steiger, Trevor Howard, Lee Remick, Richard Johnson, Peter Egan, Stanley Lebor, Patrick Stewart and a young Patsy Kensit, the last two in their film debuts.
Production
The film was based on a story by actor Richard Johnson who called it "a modern re-telling of the Guy Fawkes story. There is absolutely no question of anyone trying to make entertainment out of terror. That is ridiculous." Johnson was best known as an actor but he had a long history of writing.
"The film is not specifically orientated on politics," said Johnson. "It is simply a thriller using the Irish problem as a background."
The film was a co production between Peter Snell and American International Pictures (AIP). AIP sent a copy of a manuscript to John Gay who agreed to write the screenplay. The original director was John Guillermin and Gay says development involved three trips to London to confer with British Lion, who were co-producers, before the script was approved.
Gay says that Guillermin then received an offer to direct The Towering Inferno so left the project. The film had no director for two months until the producers signed Don Sharp, then directing Callan.
Production started in February 1974 and finished in September. "It is not an agitational film," said Steiger. "This is a suspense thriller."
