On The Riviera Scheduled for production this Summer is the first musical an American studio will have filmed abroad with an internationally all-star cast and pro- duced by American experts. It is titled "On The Riviera” and will be filmed entirely at the world-famous resorts on the French and Italian Riv- iera. Moreover, it will have color by Technicolor. None other than llanny Kaye (right) has been signed to star in "On The Riviera” which will be directed by Halter Lang who megaphoned "Cheaper Ry The Dozen”, "When My Baby Smiles At Me” and other major boxoffice hits. Among those mentioned for featured roles in “On The Riviera”, which William Perlberg will produce, are Micheline Prelle, Cecile Aubry (who makes her debut in an American-made film in “The Rlack Rose” . opposite Tyrone Power) and many others. "On The Riviera” will definitely be this company’s most elaborate venture in the musical field, which means this attraction is pre-destined to compare favorably with such hits as" Alex- ander’s Ragtime Rand”. w The Dolly Sisters”, and "State Fair”. “On The Riviera” is based on the story "Moulin Rouge”. Later this year Retty Grable and Dan Dailey will start work on another co-starring musical comedy in Technicolor, ‘‘Call Me Mister”. This Fred Kohlmar production will be a combination of music from the Rroadway hit, ‘‘Call Me Mister”, and a story titled "CATS”, which deals with a group of performers who saw war-time and post-war service, entertaining GI's in Japan and Europe. In preparation as follow-through on the campaign to give fact to the slogan, "Movies Are Retter Than Ever”, are no less than two scores of important stories. Among them are "Half An Angel” and Clare Boothe Luce’s original story, "A Spark In The Night”. Roth are major attractions planned for 1951 release. In announcing these two properties, Production Chief Darryl F. Zanuck pointed out that “Half An Angel” is the story of a woman with a split-personality, written by Robert and Everett Riskin. They had originally planned to produce the picture themselves, with Loretta Young in the starring role. Miss Young is the "half-angel”. It was a package deal and the services of Miss Young went with it. Julian Blaustein will produce this comedy that Jules Dassin will direct. "A Spark In The Night” by the authoress of "Come To The Stable” will be produced by Sam Engel who also made the latter. It is the story of a Congressman who does a great service for his coun- try. As this journal was going to press no announcement had been made as to whom the studio contemplated will cast in "A Spark In The Night” or who would direct it. However, obviously, any creation of Miss Luce would occivy a conspicuous position on any list of enter- tainments. m Half An Angel
