"The Collector" is a 1965 film based on the 1963 novel "The Collector" by John Fowles. The film was adapted by Stanley Mann and John Kohn and was directed by William Wyler (who turned down The Sound Of Music to do it). It starred Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar.

Reception

It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Samantha Eggar), Best Director (William Wyler) and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium, but the only awards it was to win were at Cannes.

Terence Stamp later confessed in his autobiography his own surprise as being chosen for the role (he'd expected Anthony Perkins or John Hurt to play Clegg). Having been chosen, he assumed (as had most others) that Julie Christie—regarded at that time as the best young actress of the era—would be given the role of Miranda, but Wyler chose Eggar because he thought it would introduce the correct air of sexual tension and awkwardness between the two protagonists—Stamp having been turned down by Eggar when both were at college.
