Abel Ferrara explains how Harvey Keitel completely changed the "Comedic" tone of "Bad Lieutenant" (1992) to a "nightmarish" tone because of his breakup with Lorraine Bracco:
"Interviewer: Many people think of that film as your masterpiece. Had you ever worked with Keitel before then?
Ferrara: : I didn't know him from Adam. Christopher Walken was supposed to play the part of the lieutenant. Then he says, "You know, I don't think I'm right for it." Which is, you know, a fine thing to say, unless it's three weeks from when you're supposed to start shooting. It definitely caught me by surprise. It put me in terminal shock, actually.
Interviewer: Are you saying that Keitel prepared for that role in three weeks?
Ferrara: Actually, when we gave him the script the first time he read about five pages and threw it in the garbage. Luckily, Victor Argo, the actor, convinced him to give it a second chance. So in a way, Walken's leaving was good timing. Because right at that point in his life, Harvey really needed an opportunity to play a lead role. He needed to work on something he could relate to. And this film came around right as he was splitting up with his wife, Lorraine Bracco. She had just gotten nominated for an Academy Award for 'Goodfellas' (1990). And up till then, he'd basically dedicated his life to her career — he'd practically retired from acting to help her — and suddenly she takes off with the director! He was in total agony.
Interviewer: It certainly comes through.
Ferrara: Let me tell you. When people break up with the love of their life, it's always traumatic. But with Harvey, everything is the most traumatic. So that was the most traumatic breakup in the history of the world. And you see it in the movie. Originally, 'Bad Lieutenant' wasn't written to be quite as nightmarish and hellish – originally it had some humor in it.
Interviewer: Can you give me an example of how it changed with Keitel in the lead?
Ferrara: Take the scene where he pulls over the two girls in their father's car. With Walken as the lead, the lieutenant was going to end up dancing in the streets with the girls as the sun came up. They'd be wearing his gun belt and hat, and they'd have the radio on, you know what I mean? But oh my god, Harvey, he turned it into this whole other thing.
Interviewer: In the movie, he forces the girls to talk dirty while he m@sturb@tes in the driver's window.
Ferrara: Yeah, he just whipped it out. And that was his live-in babysitter in the car! I said, "You sure you want to do this with your babysitter?" He says, "Yeah, I want to try something." [laughs]
Interviewer: Did you consider that shocking at the time?
Ferrara: I didn't even know it happened! One take. 'Bad Lieutenant' was a low-budget movie - we didn't even have video assists.
Interviewer: So you were lucky to have the camera at the right angle.
Ferrara: I know. God forbid he moved an inch. But that's what's great about guys like Harvey and Chris. Try taking the camera off them — they were born in frame."
