Frantic is a noted 1988 thriller film directed by Roman Polanski and starring Harrison Ford.
Trivia:
Director Cameo: [Roman Polanski] the taxi driver who hands over the matches to Dr. Walker. Also, the dubbed voice of the man in the tweed jacket who interrogates Michelle in her apartment.
Harrison Ford thought that “Frantic” was a misleading title for the film as the script didn’t have a frantic pace. He suggested that “Moderately Disturbed” would be a more appropriate title. Roman Polanski wasn’t amused.
Due to studio pressure, 15 minutes were trimmed from the original running time and a new ending was shot.
