Editing David and Lisa (section)

==Production==
In 1961, Ann Perry read the novella and showed it to her mother [[Eleanor Perry|Eleanor]]. The playwright was so fascinated by what she read that she set out to write a screenplay, enlisting her husband Frank as director. The resulting film was produced with small investors and a collection of unknowns to keep costs down. Production began in June 1962 in [[Wynnewood, Pennsylvania]]. Only after a run on the festival circuit did the film receive a willing exhibitor from New York.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gussow |first=Mel |date=1995-08-31 |title=Frank Perry, 65, the Director Who Filmed 'David and Lisa' |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/08/31/obituaries/frank-perry-65-the-director-who-filmed-david-and-lisa.html |access-date=2023-02-10 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Taylor |first=Clarke |date=1987-06-28 |title=FRANK PERRY IS STILL INDEPENDENT AND HAPPY |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-06-28-ca-38-story.html |access-date=2023-02-10 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref>
