e Like the audiences it will eventually reach, the Technicolor production of “The Black Rose” has been an international project. Almost entirely filmed in honest-to-goodness exteriors and interiors, its scenes range from the crenelated walls of Meknes to the Barber palaces of Marrakech, the Foreign Legion outposts in South Morocco, the Oases in Tinrir, a castle in Scotland and, finally, England. Among the stars Tyrone Power as Walter of Gurnie and Orson Welles as the Mongolian General Bayan are American; Cecile Aubry, who has the title part, is French; Jack Hawkins as Walter’s best friend is English; Alphonso Bedoya is Mexi- can; Herbert Sem, Czechoslovakian, and the thousands of extras and stand-ins Arab. All this habel of citizenry took di- rection from Henry Hathaway. Heading the company Pro- ducer Louis Lighton used in technical capacities in Africa and the British Isle filming of this sprawling adventure-love story was cameraman Jack Cardiff, who won the Academy Award (in March) for his work on “Black Narcissus”. Casablanca, in French Morocco, Africa, was headquarters for “The Black Rose” company. However, an ocean-liner had to be chartered from England to transport the tons and tons of equipment needed for the sequences “shot” in Africa. One hundred and 10 technicians from 20th Century-Fox Studios had to be taken along. In the cavalcade across the desert se- quence some 2000 camels were used. Forty-four Arab assistant directors herded the camels. The battle scenes, filmed in Ouarzazate required 200 tons of equipment shipped from London, including lighting appa- ratus, reflectors, crepe hair, typewriters, make-up, costumes, sewing machines, props, 1,000 spears and lances, 12,000 ar- rows, shields, bows, 150 tons of cable, two large Technicolor cameras and several smaller cameras, several huge sound trucks, three generators and additional impedimenta picked up in Casablanca and Meknes.

Power washing Maryam’s (Miss Aubry) hack. “The Black Rose” will be given special handling. Already it has won hundreds of pages of international publicity. Sev- eral world-famous newspapers, like the New York Times and several in London and Paris, sent special correspondents to Casablanca to write feature stories that were later given uni- versal circulation. The first motion picture “shot” in Techni- color on African “location”, “The Black Rose” represents the largest investment made to date by an American producing organization in filming a story at its exact locales.
