lavenderblue19 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks laffite While making this film, the lead actress became so frightened while filming a scene the director got the actress drunk so she could complete the scene. The scene involved fire. The film won Oscars and was based on a famous novel. Film, director, actress ??? Link to post Share on other sites

Not the film I'm asking about but an excellent guess and it's interesting there is a connection with one of the actresses in Great Expectations and the film the question is about!

lavenderblue19 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 19 minutes ago, laffite said: Elmer Gantry ... Richard Brooks ... Jean Simmons All correct laffite. Elmer Gantry, Jean Simmons and Richard Brooks. The scene on the stage when the timbers were falling and everything is on fire was terrifying for Jean Simmons. Arthur Kennedy had suggested to Richard Brooks that he ply Jean with gin and milk. She had 5 of those drinks and it worked, she finished the scene. Here's the interesting connection with Great Expectations (btw) one of my fav films, the scene where Jean is with Pip walking on the stairs, Jean was holding a candle and her apron did catch on fire. Maybe Jean remembering that incident is part of her reluctance to do the scene in Elmer Gantry ( btw) on of my top 10 fav films. Great work laffite, now it's back to you Link to post Share on other sites

Terrence1 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks, Laffite. That was a great clue. These two Universal contractees met while making a movie together. They later married. In this movie, she was the female lead, and he was the heavy. Link to post Share on other sites

Terrence1 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Absolutely correct, Lavender. Sadly, the marriage ended in divorce. But there's no doubt they made a handsome couple. It's yours. Link to post Share on other sites

lavenderblue19 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 According to the lead actress who was an Oscar winner ( for a different film) in this 1950's film that was a drama, her co-star was so nervous that some scenes had to be done 30 or 40 times. The actress did not complain. Years later the actor thanked her for being so nice to him and and told her he loved her for that. Film, actress and actor ??? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Although the actress did not win an Oscar for this film, she was nominated for Best Actress for this film. Link to post Share on other sites
