my mother (Sherry Moore) appeared in this movie... twice....
Rocky thought she died so well that he wrote her in as her twin sister to kill her again...
when she was in the coffin, as she lay still, he knocked the coffin HARD when he fell on it in his grief, she was thinking "OMG he is going to shut me in this thing!" so she opened her eyes to see what was going on...
Rocky only took ONE take...
so, in the key grief scene as she lay dead in the coffin, the corpse quickly opens its eyes and then promptly closes them
My mother remembered that Rocky was so concerned that this movie be eligible for an Oscar that he moved heaven and earth to get it shown at least once in a theater... which they did, mostly because MOST of the Dallas movie scene was involved in it at one time or another over its many years of creation.
