TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The writer pitching The Graduate: Part II to Griffin Mill is a cameo by Buck Henry (as himself). Buck Henry co-wrote the screenplay for The Graduate (1967).

The celebrity cameos were not written in the script. Robert Altman added them all in. No scripted dialogue was given to any celebrity with a cameo.

In the scene where Tim Robbins (as Griffin) stops to say hello to Burt Reynolds in the restaurant, Reynolds improvised the scene, not knowing anything about Griffin, but manages to know he's an "asshole".

Screenwriter Michael Tolkin had a film company ring him up and try to option Habeus Corpus, the blatantly ludicrous film that is pitched within the movie.

According to a contemporary article in the New York Times, director Altman convinced the celebrities who provided cameos for the film to donate their union-scale salary for one day of work to the Motion Picture and Television Country House and Hospital for retired filmmakers.

Popular Dialogues

"Griffin Mill: It lacked certain elements that we need to market a film successfully. June: What elements? Griffin Mill: Suspense, laughter, violence. Hope, heart, nudity, sex. Happy endings. Mainly happy endings. June: What about reality?"

"Griffin Mill: I was just thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we could just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we've got something here."
