TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

During the Neary dinner scene, just before Roy piles on the mashed potatoes, the little girl Silvia (Adrienne Campbell) says: "There's a dead fly in my potatoes." This was unscripted and almost caused the rest of the cast to laugh. The scene was kept as-is.

Cary Guffey's performances were so good that they only had to do one or two takes of each shot he was in. He became known as "One-Take Cary" on the set, and director Steven Spielberg had a T-shirt printed up for him with the phrase written on it.

The iconic five-note melody was a chance arrangement that both composer John Williams and director Steven Spielberg happened to like out of hundreds of different permutations. The tone was later used in Moonraker (1979) and again in the cue line in Star Tours (1987).

The film was partly inspired by an experience from Steven Spielberg's childhood when, without advanced warning, his parents rushed the children into their car one night, drove to an area where many others were gathered, and watched a spectacular meteor shower.

The John Williams score was created before the film was edited. Steven Spielberg edited the film to match the music, a reverse of what is usually done in the film scoring process. Both Spielberg and Williams felt that it ultimately gave the film a lyrical feel.

Popular Dialogues

"Project Leader: He says the sun came out last night. He says it sang to him."

"Project Leader: If everything's ready here on the Dark Side of the Moon... play the five tones."
