TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

As a running gag, Larry Flint (Paul Newman) is repeatedly described as a "starving artist," but in all his scenes, he is constantly eating.

Frank Sinatra was the first choice to play Rod Anderson. When Darryl F. Zanuck balked at his salary demand, Robert Mitchum agreed to play the role at no fee for tax purposes.

Shirley MacLaine is quoted as saying she was happy to work with Edith Head, with a $500,000.00 budget, 72 hairstyles to match the gowns, and $3.5-million gem collection, on-loan from Harry Winston. The value of the gems alone (adjusted for inflation) would be $23.5 million (in 2016).

When Elizabeth Taylor was still attached to the project (then titled "I Love Louisa"), actors seeking to play her husbands included Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis--none of whom appeared in the final film.

The matte painting used for the "Flaming Lips" premiere is the same used for "Royal Rascal" and "The Dancing Cavalier" premieres in Singin' in the Rain (1952).

Popular Dialogues

"Leonard 'Lennie' Crawley: What are you, an orthodox coward? Edgar Hopper: No, Lenny. I just believe in passive resistance. Leonard 'Lennie' Crawley: Oh, a Mahatma Hopper, I presume? Edgar Hopper: No, as a matter of fact, Gandhi and I both got it from this guy - Henry Thoreau."

"Larry Flint: The Louvre - It's the garbage pail of the arts."
