As part of the "Stanley Kubrick Collection" on VHS, "The Shining" stars off with "The Making of The Shining" by Stanley's wife, Vivian Kubrick.
Two particular scenes stood out.
- At a large table, Jack Nicholson is reviewing lines at one corner, Shelley Duvall is reviewing lines at another corner, and Stanley Kubrick is typing new script revisions at another corner. There are several points in "The Making of The Shining" where they discuss the on-going evolution of the script.
- There is one scene in the movie where Nicholson is locked in a walk-in freeze and he is talking to Duvall. In planning the scene, Stanley Kubrick is looking for the best angle to film. He finally decides on lying down with a camera under Nicholas who is leaning against the freeze door.
