212 Bonfire of the Vanities, The (1990)
- 'Alan Arkin' (qv) (Judge Myron Kovitzky) was replaced late in preproduction
by 'Morgan Freeman' (qv) and the character renamed; mostly because of
scheduling problems. This decision cost over $2 million.
- 'F. Murray Abraham' (qv)'s contract for this movie stipulated that his name
appear above the title in the advertising, or not at all. Since the
producers already had 'Tom Hanks' (qv), 'Melanie Griffiths' (qv),
'Bruce Willis' (qv) and Freeman above the title, Abraham chose not to be
credited.
- The production is extensively documented in ``The Devil's Candy'' by Julie
Salamon (ISBN 0-385-30824-8)
