Terence Stamp was originally cast as Montag, but dropped out because he was uneasy at co-starring with Julie Christie, his former lover, and because he felt that Christie's appearing in dual roles would overshadow him. François Truffaut then cast Oskar Werner, the star of his classic Jules e Jim (1962), despite the fact that the film was set in England, and Werner's accent and demeanor were decidedly non-English. Truffaut came to regret his choice. He became dismayed by Werner's interpretation of the character, and the two frequently clashed.
