Daily Dialogue — October 25, 2017

“I’m sick of my sister’s attraction to razor blades — and I’m sick of shrinks who can’t do a fucking thing to help her.”

— The Prince of Tides (1991), screenplay by Pat Conroy and Becky Johnston, novel by Pat Conroy

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Therapy, suggested by Gisela Wehrl.

Trivia: Robert Redford initially acquired the film rights and was planning to star and direct himself. He had even considered Streisand for the Lowenstein role, but was having trouble getting a satisfactory script together. When Streisand seemed more enthusiastic than he was, Redford relinquished the film rights to her.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Almost a lock cinch guarantee that if a movie involves a therapist-patient subplot, eventually there will be a confession scene.
