Интересные факты

Duffy is a 1968 crime comedy film directed by Robert Parrish and starring James Coburn, James Mason, James Fox and Susannah York; also starring John Alderton. The screenplay was by Donald Cammell and Harry Joe Brown Jr. Originally called "Avec-Avec", French for "with-it", according to 1967 press reports, Columbia Pictures changed the title of the movie, despite the protests of the stars.

Production

The script was originally written by Donald Cammell, but was rewritten. Cammell later said he thought the final film "might have been done a little better. I should never criticise other people's movies actually, because I know how hard it is to be faithful to a story, and you can actually transform a story making a film and make it much better. So anybody who tries that. I'm all for it.

Coburn's casting was announced in August 1966.

He was reportedly paid $534,000 for his role.

It was shot at Shepperton Studios and on location in Almería. The film's sets were designed by the art director Philip Harrison.

Coburn, Fox and York were all unhappy with the new title. Coburn refused to do any publicity for the film until it was called Avec Avec again.
