The Klansman is a 1974 American drama film based on the 1967 novel of the same name by William Bradford Huie. It was directed by Terence Young and starred Lee Marvin, Richard Burton, Cameron Mitchell, Lola Falana, Luciana Paluzzi, David Huddleston, Linda Evans and O. J. Simpson in his feature film debut.
Production
Although O.J. Simpson appeared in an unreleased 1973 film called Why?, this film marks his acting debut.
Filming took place in Oroville, California, about 60 miles north of Sacramento. Burton and wife Elizabeth Taylor stayed in a rented house in town. "It's enchanting here", Burton told the press during filming. "It reminds me of my old valley in Wales."
Richard Burton allegedly drank so much alcohol during the making of this film that many of his scenes had to be shot with him seated or lying down due to his inability to stand. In some scenes, he appears to slur his words or speak incoherently. Burton later said that he could not remember making the film.
Burton gave a young woman in town, Kim Dinucci, a $450 diamond ring and arranged for her to get a small walk-on part in the film as Bascomb (Marvin)'s daughter. This made national news.
During Breck Stancill (Burton)'s death scene, he was lying on the set when the director Young said that the make-up artist had prepared him well for the scene, only for the artist to remark that he had not done anything. Young brought a doctor in to examine him when it was determined that he was dying. He was rushed to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica with a temperature of 104 °F (40 °C) and both kidneys on the point of collapse.
