 When Peckinpah, Sam (qv) was planning the scene in which Amy is  raped twice, he would not tell George, Susan (qv) how he was going  to shoot the scene. Under pressure from her, he eventually told her  bluntly that Amy would first be raped and then buggered. She refused  to take part in Peckinpahs plans for explicit portrayal of this and  threatened to resign. He eventually relented, allowing George to  depict Amys trauma by concentrating on her eyes and face, rather  than her body.
