Deliverance is timeless. Unique scenario; well cast; nothing phony; credible; this story is not dated; well-written by James Dickey & well-crafted by John Boorman. Bravo to all cast, crew, writer and director. Cinematic perfection.

Hard (for me) to listen to, but the movie is of course fantastic. * Supposedly the guy who played Merlin (Nicol Williamson) and the woman who played Morgana (Helen Mirren) apparently could not stand each other in real life, but I think in this case that worked to the director's advantage.

Interesting fact: The local actor playing the banjo in the famous scene did not pick a single note during the main sequence. There is a professional banjo player hiding behind the actor doing the actual picking, with his arms fully shown, with the prop department hiding it all with specially made shirt for the actor. It was intentionally shot from the very low angle looking up so the effect could be more easily hidden.

I read an interview with Boorman about how Reynolds was going to do the scene involving him getting knocked out of the canoe. Boorman wanted to use a dummy to simulate Reynolds going over a waterfall. Reynolds insisted that he do it himself because a dummy wouldn't look convincing. Boorman relented, and while filming the dangerous scene Reynolds got knocked out and wound up in the hospital. When Boorman visited Reynolds in the hospital the first thing Reynolds asked was "how did the shot look"? Boorman replied "it looked like a dummy going over a waterfall".
