9.) Played "Mothershead" in Elephant Man (1980) the head nurse who showed compassion for John Merrick and tried to get her younger nurse charges to do the same. Typical Hiller character--compassionate not treacly.

I'll give another clue:
3.) Most of the film was shot in Spain, Germany and Algeria, the last substituting for the Sahara Desert in Chad--a pivotal plot point.

Double Indemnity
Fox and His Friends (1975) Rainer Werner Fassbender tells us you can win the lottery, but money can't buy happiness. Fassbender himself stars.
L'Argent (1983) Robert Bresson directs a movie about the corrosive effects of money.
Hyenas (1992) Senagalese filmmaker Djibril Diop Mambety (who only made 2 feature films) tells the tale of a wealthy woman who incites the murder-for-hire of a lover who spurned her. A satire on small-minded materialism.
The Counterfeiters (2006) Director Stefan Ruzowitzky directs a story about a Nazi attempt to destabilize the UK economy by flooding it with counterfeit money. Won the best foreign film Oscar.
The Queen of Versailles (2012) doc about a couple so rich and tacky that if they didn't exist, you'd have to make them up. This was funny and tragic as their dream to build the biggest single-family home in the world bursts with the 2008 recession. I saw it on Netflix.

1.) The execution of a prisoner in this 70's-era film is not staged. It is real footage of an execution.
2.) In a scene in an orange grove the director determined the fruit "was not orange enough" and had each one painted more orange--a technique he used previously in a 1960s movie he directed.

Bridges at Toko-Ri (1955) first time I've seen it. I was SHOCKED when William Holden, Mickey Rooney and Earl Holliman die at the end. I thought it was going to be a big thundering war movie where everybody gets out alive and all the Commies day.
Fredric March as the old Admiral was stoic and memorable. His final speech "Where do we get such men?" really got to me. It's one of the few Korean war movies I've seen and I thought it was very well done.

one more try:
"Little Shop Around the Corner" was adapted into a movie musical "In the Good Old Summertime" and then into a Broadway musical "She Loves Me" in 1963. The movie stars Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart were supposedly involved in a love affair.
All three were based on the Hungarian play "Parfumerie" (AKA "Illatszertar") which was copyrighted in 1936.
I'm really sorry if this is wrong, but I promise it's my last try, Princess. Don't be mad, OK?

sorry, I'm trying...maybe this isn't my movie to guess...

"A Little Night Music" was based on Ingmar Bergman's "Smiles of a Summer Night." It was adapted into an American musical movie in 1977, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Len Cariou and Diana Rigg.
In the original Broadway production actor Victoria Mallory, who played the bride Anye, fell in love in real life with her co-star Mark Lambert, who played her stepson in the play.
(As an aside Mallory and Lambert's daughter, Ramona Mallory, had a leading role in the 2009 Broadway production with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury.)
Is that right?
