Here's a wonderful chance for unknowns un-knowns 1 Anatole Litvak is known for many successful directorial jobs; "Sorry, Wrong Number" and "The Snake Pit" are two recent ones. Wallis has signed Joan Fontaine for "September," "Sep-tember," to be filmed in Italy in August for Paramount. Pat Knight thinks maybe it is an omen forecasting her future stardom star-dom during filming of Columbia's "Shockproof" she found a letter in her uniform's pocket, addressed to Joan Crawford, who wore the uniform in "A Woman's Face". A Moroccan Mlchoue", something some-thing new In New York parties, launched George Raft's "Outpost "Out-post in Morocco". Shot against magnificent, authentic backgrounds, back-grounds, it is a story of the French Foreign Legion, with plenty of action. The men in the supporting cast, headed by Akim Tamiroff and John Lltel, are excellent. Marie Windsor must have been cast only for her looks. Joanne Dru became an actress because she was too shy to make friends and took dramatic lessons to overcome her shyness. Howard Hawks saw her at a dramatic school, hired her for "Red River". |
