Trivia / The Sentinel (1977)

• Playing Against Type: Burgess Meredith plays with this. While hardly the first time he played the Devil, his sweet old man character giving way to his true evil is more chilling than most his career.
• Uncredited Role: Vicki Michelle as a girl on TV.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Michael Winner originally wanted Martin Sheen for the male lead but Universal didn't think he was a capable film actor so Chris Sarandon was cast instead.
  • John Williams was originally attached to score the film but pulled out to do a little film called Star Wars: A New Hope.
