Still of the Night marks a darker turn for Streep and Benton
In Dallas, Meryl Streep and Robert Benton describe Still of the Night as a departure from Kramer Vs. Kramer. Streep plays a pampered rich woman while Roy Scheider portrays a newly divorced Manhattan psychiatrist who suspects murder and fears being her next victim. Benton notes male fear of women as a universal trait. Streep discusses portraying beauty and insecurity, recalling high school insecurities and her disdain for Vassar peers.

Deliverance filming chaos and lone editor’s craft in Rabun County
In summer 1971 Burt Reynolds Jon Voight and crew shot a dramatic river escape on the Chattahoochee in Rabun County Georgia. Editor Tom Priestley, isolated at the Heart of Rabun Motel, cut 18 takes of scene 23 into four versions and fused multi angle shots into a cohesive sequence, preferring solitary work over on set chaos.
