Above, the Princess toasts one of her lovers, Gilbert Roland. Miss de Havilland has won several Academy Awards for outstanding acting, one for her portrayal in "Tbe Snake Pit” and another for “The Heiress”. In this CinemaScope production she portrays an emotional role that Katherine Cornell played on Broadway for an entire season. THAT LADY STARRING OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND The most elaborate production so far filmed on foreign locations in CinemaScope unquestionably is the Sy Barlett production of Kate O’Brien’s story, “ That Lady.” But, foreign filming, in Spain and England, was necessary only because the story takes place there. An extraordinary story it is, too! Miss O'Brian's novel attained such international popularity that it was subsequently adapted into a stage play for Katherine Cornell who starred in it on Broadway and through- out the U.S. with marked success for several seasons. The screenplay can be aptly described as a romantic drama, for it deals with Ana de Mendoza, princess of Eboli, whose name in her time, 400 years ago, was not to be mentioned among polite people. She was involved with Philip II of Spain. Despite his love for her, Philip caused her to perish abominably, walled in darkness within the room in her own palace where he had so often condescended to be received, both in private and among the grandees of Castile. Involved, romantically and otherwise, t oo, with her were Escovedo, the dashing adventurer who was murdered, and Perez, the rival Secre- tary of State, scapegoat for his royal master, discredited, denied trial, tortured and, escaping at last, to become a renegade at the court of France and at that of Queen Elizabeth I of England. It was a shocking world in which the Princess lived. Though not very young and one-eyed from childhood, she became one of history’s most fabulous characters. None other than Olivia De Havilland, recalled for her great per- formances in “The Snake Pit,” "My Cousin Rachel,” "The Human Beast” and “The Heiress,” plays the Princess. Co-starred with her is Gilbert Roland as Escovedo who falls under her spell. Finally portray- ing major roles in this human drama directed by Terrence Young are Paul Scofield, who has the romantic lead as Philip; Denni s Price, Barrie Martin and others. Page 28A
