Put "Daddy Long Legs” down as one of the major musical treats of 1955. Co-starring Fred Astaire and lovely Leslie Caron, this CinemaScope super-special is being produced by Sam Engel and directed by Jean Ne- gulesco who megaphoned "Three Coins In The Fountain,” "A Woman’s World” and others. Immortalized as a stage play by the late David Belasco, "Daddy Long Legs” was made as a silent picture twice, with Mary Pickford back in 1919 and in 1931 by this company with Shirley Temple. But, the 1955 story of a foster child who grows up to fall in love with her guardian angel has been stream- lined. It will reveal a heart-warming story of a loveable an<J talented girl and her mounting affection of her much older guardian who in this case is a Texas oil millionaire turned Continental playboy, who loves to dance, sing and play drums. . .and throws $1,000 bills away! The roles were tailored to the talents of dynamic Astaire and little Miss Caron, who have been rehearsing their songs. . .and Johnny Mercer has written 14 of them for this adaptation of the story by F. Hugh Herbert. . . and dances for the past six months. Kay Nelson has done the costuming. Page 35A
