He looked so young on screen, he could easily pass off as a 19-year-old.

Lol, maybe not a 19-year old but easily 30.

Polanski was born in 1933 which would make him 34 in this movie.

He looked like a child almost. I did not know he was that old when he made this.

He looks pretty young for his age in The Tenant as well.

If you take into account that Polanski was born in August '33 and that FVK was filmed Feb-July '66, it turns out he was actually 32 in the movie. Not that I'm fussy about these things.

He could have easily passed for 20. Quirky film that is worth a view if for nothing more than the sets,costumes and decent,albeit silly,performances by most in this little underrated jewel. I am usually not a fan of spoofs(think horror and comedy just dont mix)but this one is worth a look. Peace.

Polanski was long known for his "boyish looks."

Hmmm, maybe that explains his penchant for going after (and getting) such young girls.

I saw a picture of him recently and he still looks good for his age
