There Really was A Harry Kirkpatrick
While preparing to film the 1988 slasher flick Nightmare Beach in Florida, Umberto Lenzi had a falling out with the producer just as production started and wanted to be taken off the film, but the film's co-writer Harry Kirkpatrick (who wound up receiving sole directing credit) convinced Lenzi to remain on the set in an uncredited advisory capacity throughout the entire production. Thus Lenzi co-directed the film with Kirkpatrick. For years, many horror film fans thought Harry Kirkpatrick was an alias for Lenzi, but Lenzi has stated in interviews that there really was a Harry Kirkpatrick who co-wrote & co-directed that film with him. In fact, Lenzi stated in interviews that he really liked Kirkpatrick and got along well with him.

Famous quotes containing the word harry:
“People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
