TERENCE RATTIGAN PLAY AROUT CONCEALED LOVE O Mistress Mine CO-STARRING INGRID BERGMAN For several years this company has owned the screen rights to Terence Ratti- gan’s play, “O Mistress Mine”, patiently waiting for “the right players to be avail- able” before putting it on film. Now, the first of the “right players” has been signed, and the screenplay is scheduled to be filmed late in the Summer. As the reader probably has guessed by now, the great Academy Award actress, Ingrid Bergman, pictured below, will be one of at least five stars who will head the cast of the picturization, in CinemaScope with De Luxe, of Rattigan’s most popular play. Within the next several months the studio expects to have finalized current negotiations for the services of an international male star to appear opposite Miss Bergman, and two younger ones who, like their elders, will also be romantically, but more conventionally involved in the story. “O Mistress Mine” is a romantic drama dealing with complications that arise in the concealed love affair of a sophisticated widow and a distinguished English cabinet member separated from his wife. The widow’s young son, back home from school and from whom she had kept secret her affair, takes drastic means to break up the romance. But, in the end, is forced to the realization that he was indirectly the instigator of the unconventional alliance, and that his elders truly love each other. Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, the celebrated man-wife team, for five years co-starred in stage presentations of “O Mistress Mine”, not only on Broadway and major cities in the United States and Canada, but also in seven foreign lands. Critics incline to the conclusion that this internationally popular couple scored their outstanding triumph in “O Mistress Mine”. |g HNS ■ - ■ r ' ' ■ ; mmm mm ffifpflf ■ | s ■ " . INGRID BERGMAN SUSAN HAYWARD 'k. FOUR STORIES IN ONE Mountolive WITH A STELLAR CAST Certainly one of the more unusual entertainment creations the studio is preparing for 1960-6i is “Mountolive”. Four novels by Lawrence Durrell are combined in this CinemaScope production with De Luxe Color. Academy Award winner Susan Hayward (above) will be one of a galaxy of stars who will appear in this production that Walter Wanger will place before the cameras following completion of his “Cleopatra”. Mountolive” retains the basic plots and most of the characters in the f our novels. The story covers about ten years, before and during World War II, and an assorted array of people from several walks of life. The background extends from Portugal to Alexandria, with the latter colorful Egyptian city, most involved. In the carefree pre-war days aspiring, conspiring and, in some cases, ruthless government officials, political exiles, a writer and several teach- ers, along with their women, become involved in a maelstrom of pas- sion, greed, intrigue and duplicity. The screen merger of the four stories has already been completed, but no director has yet been assigned. In any case, “Mountolive” will occupy a high rating in the list of important, mass-appeal, star-rich motion pictures for domestic release in the 1960-61 period. 77
