    Who here has read this book? I've read it like once or twice.

    I noticed at least one mistake. Greenberg said that Polanski hired Gilbert Taylor for Repulsion, after seeing Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. But in 1984, in his autobiography, Polanski said it was A Hard Day's Night that convinced him to hire Taylor.

    Given what is known about Repulsion (it was filmed using the same studios, and during the Summer of 1964, shortly after AHDN), I tend to believe Polanski over Greenberg.
