Ten years ago, while working on The South Bank Show, Melvyn Bragg and I had a heated discussion on the pros and cons of film censorship. Broadly speaking, Melvyn was against it, while I, much to his surprise, was absolutely for it. He then dared me to write a script that I thought should be banned. I accepted the challenge and a month or so later sent him a short subject entitled A Kitten for Hitler. "Ken," he said, "if ever you make this film and it is shown, you will be lynched."
Subcin.com: "In the summer of 1968, the elegant resort town of East Hampton, NY witnessed a bizarre invasion of the celebrities and unknowns, professional actors and amateurs, assembled by Norman Mailer to make a movie in which he would be both director and star.
(...)
Mailer played a character named Norman T. Kingsley, a filmmaker who is contemplating a run for president. His half brother in the film is played by Rip Torn. Allegedly, Torn took his part too seriously and attacked Mailer with a small hammer, and Mailer retaliated by nearly biting off Torn's ear. This clip shows the actual fight."
"A scene from a 1931 Paramount publicity film called The House That Shadows Built and the Four Marx Brothers appear to promote Monkey Business. It's actually a reworking of a scene from their Broadway revue "I"ll Say She Is!" where they all do their Maurice Chevalier impressions (again) while trying to impress a talent scout.
This clip is from the fantastic Marx Brothers documentary "The Marx Brothers in a Nutshell."
"The Wilhelm Scream was recorded for a '50s Western, popped up in a handful of movies in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, was adopted by George Lucas' sound man Ben Burtt (who put the Scream in each Star Wars and Indiana Jones flick), and then dropped into more than 150 other movies since."
