      Indeed, it was- Though this is also an example of how his subordinates fed into his character in a way that enhanced the final product. It was just as much Danny Divito, Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd, William Redfield, and the others that made Jack shine in the role. Essentially- ask yourself what would it have been if anyone else had played any of the other parts? Rather, there's a chemistry in how characters interact with each other on set that you can't ever reproduce- no matter how skilled you are.

    I love how Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVIto were COMPLETE unknowns in this film, played their supporting roles brilliantly, and then went on to be major stars. When I started seeing them in movies, I thought, gee, I thought this guy was in an institution.

      I have to admire Michael Douglas after saving the book and original Intention to play McMurphy. being this young and havi g his family background as a factor on top he truly worked to the best outcome the project could have developed into. Over his carreer he constantly prove this ability when he took charge over production and key hiring.

    You can say all you want about how good an actor is and why, but here we have more than that.

That's serving the story, a rare and great hallmark of a rare and great performer.

    Michael Douglas's younger brother Eric was my friend at The Institute of Living (IOL), a private psych hospital in Hartford, CT at the time this movie was being made. Occasionally Michael and his dad Kirk would come to visit him. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was released the same day Eric was released from the hospital. The movie is incredibly accurate. I have to believe some of the research for the film was done at the IOL. Eric and I stayed friends for many years until he passed away in 2004.

      You know that Ken Kesey wrote the book 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' after his experience of working as a psych assistant at Menlo Park hospital in California? I guess that the Douglas's experience of having a son and brother who has a psych condition gave them empathy for similar people as portrayed in the play and movie.

    fascinating clip. lots of great info. the louise fletcher anecdote is worth the price of admission alone. quite proud that i noticed that flush on her face after the 'mildred' line when i first saw the movie over 30 years ago! one thing i would've REALLY LIKED TO HAVE SEEN, though: hackman as mcmurphy... wow. i'm going to be fantasizing about that from now on! not only (like kirk) would resemble closer the mcmurphy of the book, but his particular style would've meant for even MORE intensity...

      @AWelsh Celt The difference is that The Ratched character haunts you because of the humanity of it- Darth Vader is nothing BUT science fiction- it could never be real, thus it lacks a certain dimension of acting that can never be obtained for the character.

    Jack is a genius. Pure Genius.
    He was made for this part.
    I can't imagine anyone else in that role.
    This is when they still made real movies.
    Just copy/paste one of those, and save yourselves all that tedious thinking.

    You know, it's strange, but whatever movie Jack is in, he's Jack Nicholson. Like Cruise, Hackman, Eastwood, or other "movie stars", he is Jack Nicholson in whatever movie he's featured in - but you absolutely believe he is the character he's playing, 100%. Pairing his wild mannerisms & eccentricities against Louise Fletcher's stoic, pent-up controlled rage of tyrannical Nurse Ratched is inspired casting & filmmaking.

    Top 3 greatest ensemble casts of all time. If a meteor strike threatens existence tomorrow I might go so far as to proclaim it number 1. The cast of the quiet man in a close second.

    Great cast and using 'real' people (medical personnel, fishermen) gave it a higher level of realism. Chief Bromden, Nurse Ratched, everyone is great.

    Lately, I've heard that Jack, now 82 yrs old, can't remember his lines and is suffering mild dementia. We'll always have his movies to remind us of a prolific actor who had prescient insight into making whatever scene he was in would be indelibly imprinted on the viewer's mind and he never "phoned it in".

    Jack Nicholson was a unique actor lots of people could not do what he did. I swear I watch Lifetime movies Hallmark movies at these young actors today are so boring they put me to sleep I can't even watch the movie and no way could they ever another be a Jack Nicholson again I look at the Young Generation today trying to act and move them in movies yes they got the hot gorgeous looks guys and girls but they are so boring they put you to sleep I got no Talent at all Jack had the best talent and he was quite a looker in his young years and grew up to be a handsome man still we need more actors like that get rid of these boring actors I don't care how good looking they are
