Notes
Also Known As:
Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining'

Trivia: Anjelica Huston lived with Jack Nicholson during the time of the shooting. She recalled that, due to the long hours on the set and Stanley Kubrick's trademark style of repetitive takes, Nicholson would often return from a day's shooting, walk straight to the bed, collapse onto it and would immediately fall asleep.

Goofs: Crew or equipment visible: The shadow from the camera is visible on Wendy and Jack when they enter the apartment for the first time during the tour near the beginning of the film. (more)
