‘Don’t Look Now’ is a twisted film that was directed by Nicolas Roeg. Most people remember the film for a sex scene, that is still debated to this day. Fans went back and forth in debate about the scene and if was actually the real deal, if you know what I’m saying. The extremely graphic scene was shared between Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. The two have long denied the action was real, but a Paramount executive swears he saw the “action” first hand and insists the sex was very real.
