Later in her life, she titled her autobiography "On the Other Hand" in memory of her squirming in Kong""s grip.The film""s opening itle credits included a studio disclaimer in an attempt to remain neutral and not take sides in its story of conflict between two societal classes - the rich land-owning planters and the poor, tenant cotton-picking farmers:In many parts of the South today, there exists an endless dispute between the rich land-owners, known as planters and the poor cotton pickers, known as tenants or ""peckerwoods"".[Note: The irony of Wood""s film role here was that her accidental drowning death in 1981, off of her yacht named theSplendour, was pre-figured by the shocking bathtub scene and an attempted suicidal drowning scene at the reservoir.It wasn""t nominated for either Best Picture (won by the short, unassuming romantic dramaMarty (1955)) or Best Director for Nicholas Ray.
