*Very ... very strange Crawford film!* I *liked it ...but what a strange sitting for a film.. Set among an upper class resort hotel in the Alps!* *Umn Ok ... MGM I will buy that!* *Interesting Trivia* As early as 1937, soon after the release of this film, Joan was cruelly labeled, 'box office poison.' Luise Rainier was originally considered for Joan's role. The show stopping, Adrian designed, red gown that Joan wears at the end of the film in the ball scene can be seen in two other films. It was used in a catwalk sequence in The Big Store (1941), and then in it's full glory, thanks to the introduction of color film, in DuBarry Was A Lady (1943). Joan was married to Franchot Tone (Guilio) at the time of the production, however this was their final film together and they were divorced soon after. Again, their marriage lasted the usual Joan Crawford run of four years (1935-1939). The picture was filmed partially on location in the Mammoth Lakes area of the Sierra Mountains, CA, and background footage obtained by Fred Wilcox on an Austrian trip were included in this film and in Paradise for Three. The Bride Wore Red was directed by Hollywood's best known female director, Dorothy Arzner, at the time. Joan was quoted as saying that Arzner "scared the hell out of her." Arzner later directed Pepsi Cola commercials for Crawford's companies. The red dress Joan wears in The Bride Wore Red still exists today and was shown in 2005 as part of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) museum show "Glamour: Fashion to Die For." In uncredited roles as peasant girls, both Adriana Caselotti and Ann Rutherford went on to bigger and better roles, both holding different but equally important places in Hollywood history. Ann Rutherford went on to play Scarlett O'Hara's sister in Gone With The Wind (1939) and Adriana Caselotti gave voice to one of the most beloved animated characters of our time - Snow White. Child star Dickie Moore appeared in this film. He is best known for being the first actor to kiss Shirley Temple on the big screen.

*Probably the real "star" of the film, and the source of its title, was the red beaded gown by Adrian, worn by Joan Crawford in the climactic ball scene. The dress was reused in fashion show sequences in The Big Store (1941) and, finally in color, in _Du Barry Was a Lady_ (1943).*

Joan stars as "Anni," a cabaret singer masquerading as a society girl to land a rich man, in her 7th and final film with husband Franchot Tone. (Robert Young plays the rich guy, and Tone the rather fruity flute-playing postman who loves her.) Joan had looked forward to working with a female director, but by the end of filming, she and Arzner weren't speaking.

*French New Wave director Eric Rohmer dies* Tue, 12 Jan 2010 *Eric Rohmer, a leading filmmaker of the French New Wave cinema whose films explored love and intimacy with stark realism, has died in Paris at the age of 89.* He emerged in the 1960s and was active as a key member of the French New Wave. He worked with Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut, who are main figures of the genre in France.

The French director mostly known for My Night at Maud's and Claire's Knee was internationally known for his films' long, philosophical conversations.
