TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Writer-director Rudy Durand tried to get Orson Welles to play The Whale, but Welles was busy with other projects. Welles encouraged Durand to direct the movie himself, and he talked about the script on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962), which helped Durand secure an investor.

Brooke Shields invited the film's crew to her house for dinner and prepared fettuccine. In a 1978 article, she revealed, "It came out like - well, remember the depression, those pictures of people lined up and getting slop from a big pot? That's what my fettuccine was like. For my next party I made chicken."

Jodie Foster was considered to star as the titular lead.

The age of the Brenda Louise Davenport (Brooke Shields) character was fourteen. In real life, Shields had turned thirteen when the film was shot, and was almost fourteen when the picture premiered in April 1979.

Brooke Shields said of this movie in the film's original first release publicity: "No matter how many movies I make, not matter who I work with, Tilt (1979) will always be something very dear to me. Everyone, everything from Tilt (1979) - I'll treasure. In my heart, it has never ended and never will".
