August 30, 1967 –
John Boorman’s crime drama thriller, Point Blank, opened on this date.
Lee Marvin didn’t think John Vernon was good for the role, as the actor “wasn’t strong enough to contend with him.” It came to a head during filming when Marvin punched Vernon in the stomach during a fight scene, causing Vernon to cry and protest that he was an actor not a fighter. Vernon followed it, though, with a visibly increased energy and anger.
