Best Actress Drama | 1969 | Beryl
Robert Aldrich always counted this as a personal favorite of all his films.
It received an X rating in 1968, but was downgraded to an R in 1972. Director Robert Aldrich spent $75,000 unsuccessfully battling the X rating in court.
The lesbian lovemaking scene so disgusted Robert Aldrich's longtime composer friend Frank De Vol that he quit the production and didn't work with Aldrich for several years.
The original Broadway production of "The Killing of Sister George" by Frank Marcus opened at the Belasco Theater in New York on October 5, 1966, ran for 205 performances and was nominated for the 1967 Tony Award for the Best Play. Beryl Reid won the 1967 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play and recreated her role in the movie version.
The huge success of The Dirty Dozen (1967) the year before had given director Robert Aldrich, who had had 15% of the profits, the opportunity to buy his own studio as a place for his company, The Associates And Aldrich, to make films. This gave him the freedom to pursue more challenging and stimulating subject matter, of which "The Killing of Sister George" was the first example. Aldrich made several more films at his own studio, all of which were financial failures; by 1974, the Aldrich Studio was no more.
