Question about the title

Actually, Cecil B. DeMille was a producer/director/writer etc., (and a male).
Call it a play on words- "Cecil B. Demented" is what a critic once referred to the director, John Waters, as.

Was wondering the same thing myself...only DeMille was a man, and a director...unless there is a Cecil B. DeMille; female actress, of whom I'm unaware, which is entirely possible...

there was once an article that refered to john water's as "cecil b. demented" as a play on the name of famous director, demille, and the fact that waters is absolutely insane. waters liked it, and used it as the title of his next film. i'm not sure where i heard him (waters) say that. i think it was on the behind the scenes stuff of a dirty shame. maybe...

The author of the script knew Jaybanerjee, and for some reason, "demented" kept popping into his head.

Your username is very apt.

Your wrote your post in 2005, when computers and search engines were already very fast and accurate. The number of websites alone dealing with movie trivia (including this one) numbered in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.

It took you how many minutes to type your vapid question as opposed to looking it up on your own??

Use the brain that G-d gave you. A few men who used their brains and mathematical talents gave the world the Internet, the least you can do is use it to learn about the genius that was Cecil B. DeMille.
