Nobody Axed You (1996)
Filmed in March of 1996, "Nobody Axed You" tells the story of Curtis Spalding, a man who discovers his wife is having an affair on him with one of his co-workers. Finding his co-worker in his bed (on he and his wife's 10th wedding anniversary, no less), he hacks him to death and disposes of the pieces.But, a detective and some of his friends are getting suspicious that something is not right. Where is Curtis' wife? Where's Bill?
At the finale, Detective Mueller discovers the murder weapon..and when he tells Curtis that he is the killer, he is answered with the phrase "Nobody Axed You"...and a battle to the death ensues.
Behind the scenes:
"This is one of my favorites." says Scott of this film,
his 30th picture. "Tim gave a good performance as Curtis."
There is also dimensionality behind the character, rather
than having Arthur play Curtis as a one-note psycho.
"Curtis is pretty normal, but he is a heartbroken man,
not only because of his wife's infidelity, but because of
her drastic change in appearance, described in the film."
Detective Crispin Mueller, portrayed by Scott, comes across
as an intelligent young detective who also relates to the
situation that Curtis is going through.
"Mueller just split up with his girlfriend, who was 20
years his senior." laughs Scott. "Been there, done that."
