In background, Joan, Mary Phillips, Mary Lou Van Ness, Betty Caulfield INSIDE STUFF worth attention are Sam Wanamaker, Leo Genn and Valli. Wanamaker began his stage training with the Goodman Theater Art Institute and the Chicago Civic Theater and went right on to becoming Ingrid Bergman’s leading man in the Broadway show “Joan of Lorraine.” Movies grabbed him for “Ever the Beginning” with director Elliot Nugent going crazy with Sam’s questions of why, how come, and what for. You see he isn’t content with being an attorney and an actor; he must be a director yet. He’s about five-foot-ten, married, has a five-year-old child, Abby. Valli once met Frank Sinatra in her native Italy and said, “I hope some day I make a picture with you.” She did, only in “The Miracle of the Bells” they have no scenes together. Darkly different, arrestingly attractive and considered a great actress in Europe, Valli has starred in thirty-four Italian pictures. During the war she had a narrow escape from the German Secret Service when she refused to work for the Nazis. In 1944 she married Oscar de Mejo, the Italian pianist and composer. Her first American film is “The Paradine Case.” English Leo Genn, who plays Dr. Kit in “The Snake Pit,” was an attorney and chief Investigator and Assistant Prosecutor at the Belsen War Crimes trials. What’s more, he was a Lt. Colonel in the British Artillery and played in Laurence Olivier’s “Henry V,” a role that brought him to New York for the play “Another Part of the Forest.” From there he traveled to Hollywood to play in “Mourning Becomes Electra.” He’s married, has black curly hair, brown eyes and was captain of the soccer team at Cambridge.
