Peter Weir

Wendy Stites (1966 – present) (2 children)

(Referring to the restroom murder scene in Witness (1985): It was the most violent scene I’ve ever filmed. I still wonder if it was too violent, but I did want to have an outrage over the violence that occured in front of those innocent eyes [of the Amish boy character].
