What's left behind the scenes

  • A more accurate translation of the title is "Turkish Delight".
  • Director Paul Verhoeven and cinematographer Jan de Bont had just watched William Friedkin's thriller *The French Connection* (1971) and unanimously decided that their future film would ideally focus on realism with natural lighting, handheld camera work, and so on. However, after filming began, Verhoeven "backed down" and decided to return to shooting with stationary cameras and artificial lighting, as in his own 1971 film *Diary of a Hooker*. De Bont flatly refused to follow Verhoeven's instructions and shot the first scenes of the film as they had originally intended. This led to a quarrel between Verhoeven and de Bont, and three days after filming began, Verhoeven almost fired the cinematographer. However, seeing the first results of the shooting, he found the courage to admit that he was not right, but de Bont was.
