The Collector premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1965, where both Stamp and Eggar won the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively. Wyler's original cut ran approximately three hours but was trimmed to two hours at the insistence of the studio and producer. Filming occurred in the late spring and early summer of 1964. Most of the film was shot on soundstages in Los Angeles, though exterior sequences were filmed on location in London, Forest Row in East Sussex and Westerham in Kent. Wyler turned down The Sound of Music to direct the film. It is based on the 1963 novel of the same title by John Fowles, with the screenplay adapted by Stanley Mann and John Kohn. Its plot follows a young Englishman who stalks a beautiful art student before abducting and holding her captive in the basement of his rural farmhouse. The Collector is a 1965 psychological horror film directed by William Wyler and starring Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar.
