Interiors was nominated for five Oscars, including Director for Woody Allen and Actress for Gerladine Page, but did not win any.

Jiri Menzel's Closely Watched Trains, the winner the 1967 Oscar Award for Best Foreign-Language Picture, is a lyrical tragicomedy about the attempts of a naive apprentice train-dispatcher at sexual initiation. The (anti) hero of this wry yet tender Czech film is a shy, scared youngster who comes from a long line of patsies and fools.

Deborah Kerr herself wanted the part of Karen Holmes for the same reason that aother actresses did.  She too was typically cast as the coolly elegant and reserved lady.  Director Fred Zinnemann's decision to cast against type in "From Here to Eternity" became a turning point in Kerr's career. After this part, she was able to demand any role, and the ensuing Oscar nomination enhanced her self-confidence as an actress.

Mary Pickford was cast against type in her Oscar-winning role, "Coquette," which called for cutting her curls and acquiring a new hairstyle and a new personality. But neither the film nor her persona convinced her fans.
