Who Killed 'Winter Kills'?

The troubled production of Winter Kills (1979) is covered here in this documentary with interviews with a few cast and crew members. The film was shut down 3 times, and to save the production they had to make The American Success Company (1980) get themselves out of debt. They also talk about the first time director and the "old crew" that was used.

Directed by Perry Martin, Who Killed 'Winter Kills'? leans on a strong ensemble — Jeff Bridges, Belinda Bauer, Robert F. Boyle — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2003.
