    • Trivia
      Margaret Keane: Reading a book on a park bench behind Margaret and Walter, when they paint in front of the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts. The end-credit photo of her sitting with Amy Adams was taken when this scene was filmed.
    • Goofs
      "Tomorrow Forever," the UNICEF painting Keane painted for the 1964 Worlds Fair, was never actually mounted in the Hall of Education. Robert Moses, who had control over everything that was included in the fair, hated it. Once New York Times critic Canady trashed it after seeing a photograph of it, Moses had it thrown into the garbage.
    • Quotes

      Ruben: What's that with the big crazy eyes?

      Walter Keane: Oh. Well, I believe that you can see things in the eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul.

    TV movie with Cinematic production values
    Based on a true story, brrr... Burton ventures into the realm of TV movie land (that's where most true story movies dwell) although this was a limited cinematic release and also limited success. Amy Adams plays a painter who paints children with Big Eyes. She meets and marries Waltz who shortly after begins to take credit for her work. Adams is cast well as the good virtuous woman and Waltz is a bit type-cast as the friendly but guy-you-love-to-hate-and-wanna-punch-in-the-face bad guy. But he plays it big and sometimes a bit comedic which makes the tone of the film lighter. Big Eyes has a very colorful set- and production design and looks great. The movie itself tough feels like it could have been made by any other director and doesn't have the Burton feel. So you could say it's the least Burton-esque film in his repertoire. Seeing it in the cinemas won't add much value, it's more a nice Sunday afternoon flick that works just as well on your small screen.
