William Wyler's The Collector is a huge hit, and wins best picture. The original plan to have Samantha Eggar and Terrance Stamp in the roles are shelved when Wyler decides he wants to film it in America, and casts Natalie Wood and Tony Perkins in the roles. Instead of being filmed in London it is set in Hollywood, and the victim is an aspiring actress.
