Budget


According to the IMDb, the budget of "Klute" was $25 million. This must be a mistake!

Surely. $2,500,000 seems more likely.

The budget for KLUTE was indeed $2,500,000. At the same time it was being filmed in NYC, I was working on a movie with Jacqueline Bisset and Michael Sarrazin on the lower East Side (originally titled "Speed is of the Essence" but released as "Believe in Me")and the budget for that was a bit over $1,000,000. People seem to forget that, in the early 1970s, most 'A' movies were made on extremely low budgets which didn't seem low at all at the time!
