A co-production with David O. Selznick. Selznick flooded the production with memos, most of which were studiously ignored. David O. Selznick David Oliver Selznick (May 10, 1902–June 22, 1965), was one of the icon Hollywood producers of the Golden Age. ...
Powell summed up the relationship in this quote, "We decided to go ahead with David O. (Selznick) the way hedgehogs make love: verrry carefully!"
Subsequent history Although he had been involved throughout the filming, executive producer David O. Selznick disliked the finished film and took The Archers (Powell and Pressburger's production company) to court to get it changed. He lost the court case but discovered that he did have the right to have the film changed for its American release. Consequently he had the film re-edited and some extra scenes shot in Hollywood to make the version known as The Wild Heart (1952). Selznick's changes are mainly: (1) Adding a prologue; (2) Adding scenes explaining things, often literally, by putting labels or inscriptions on them; (3) Adding more close-ups of Jennifer Jones. The most infamous of these are the scenes at the end when she is carrying the tame fox - they presumably couldn't find a tame fox in Hollywood, because in the additional scenes, Jennifer is carrying what is obviously a stuffed toy fox. He also deleted a few scenes that he felt weren't dramatic enough. Sadly some of these were major plot points so the story doesn't make as much sense as in the original film. In his autobiographies, Powell claimed that Selznick only left about 35 mins of the original film. In fact there's a lot more than that; about two-thirds of the original remains. David O. Selznick David Oliver Selznick (May 10, 1902–June 22, 1965), was one of the icon Hollywood producers of the Golden Age. ...
