Curiosidades

Homebodies is a 1974 American satirical comedy horror film directed by Larry Yust, and starring Ian Wolfe, Ruth McDevitt, Peter Brocco, Frances Fuller, Paula Trueman, Linda Marsh, and Douglas Fowley. The film centers on a group of elderly residents in a Cincinnati tenement building who resort to murder when their building is condemned in the wake of urban redevelopment.

Production

The screenplay for Homebodies was written by Howard Kaminsky, Bennett Sims, and director Larry Yust. The project was produced by Marshall Backlar and executive-produced by James Levitt; the film was financed through Levitt's father, real estate developer William Levitt, who provided a production budget of $500,000.

The film's cast was composed of veteran actors and actresses who, according to Daily Variety's report, "had appeared in nine hundred films, collectively, but were receiving top-billing for the first time in their careers."

Principal photography for Homebodies took place in 1973 over a four week-period on location in Cincinnati, Ohio. Locations included the Burnet Woods and Fountain Square. The film was originally supposed to be set in New York City, but the production scouted several other American cities and chose Cincinnati due to the redevelopment occurring there at the time. The film marked the second film production by the Cinema Entertainment Corporation.

Once location shooting was completed, some interior sequences as well as the scenes inside the skyscraper were shot in Los Angeles over a period of two weeks.
