They now have these bot sites on Facebook - you've seen them - sites about LA or history or movies - they'll talk about a movie - it's all straight out of a google AI search. The other day there was a post from one of those bot sites about the swimmer. How good Frank and Eleanor Perry's script was. How great Frank Perry's direction was. How great Elmer Bernstein's score was. The only problems? Frank didn't write the screenplay, Eleanor did - solo. While Frank is the director of record, it's not exactly a secret that Sydney Pollack was brought in to completely reshoot the scene with Janice Rule - the original scene as directed by Perry featured not Miss Rule but Barbara Loden. Pollack also shot a couple of other brief things. The biggest oops? Elmer Bernstein's score, which doesn't work at all in the film because - wait for it - he never wrote a score for the film - the score is by Marvin Hamlisch, his first score.
