burt & gina

 

trapeze

camera work by robert krasker, directed by carol reed, worked together on the third man

starring burt lancaster, gina lollobrigida, tony curtis, and a beautiful circus

pure red-in-the-tooth melodrama, but i gaped at the magnificent camera work

exemplary story-telling and the dialogue is 110% distilled emotional blackmail

if you love beauty, and circuses, and beginners-level mind-games, it really is great fun !

improvisation

at four a.m. it was warm and dry but by seven, when i arrived at my first drop, a village pub in sussex, the rain was looking like prison bars

the pub was still dark and there was no one around, so what was i to do with a sack of flour and three cardboard boxes ?

i found three empty beer crates and inverted them

then i went into the pub garden and pinched two giant umbrellas from the tables to make a tent ... and it worked !
