Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1951)

nobody will deny, least of all Shelley. She also has great warmth and sweetness. These qualities don’t make for salty reportage. But they show in her eyes and in the way she talks about Farley — “He understands when things go wrong with me. He realizes that when I pop off, it’s because I’m frightened, I really get panicky, and this is my stupid way of selfdefense. Through Farley, I’m growing more mature. ‘Children fall apart,’ he says. ‘Adults cope with things.’ One day I barked at the director. Farley said quietly, ‘I’m tired.’ He wasn’t tired. He said it to get us a ten-minute break, so I could pull myself together. He didn’t preach at me either. Next day he just said, ‘That’s a nice fellow.’ I knew what he meant. I sat down and wrote the director a note of apology. “It’s easy to get romantic over someone like Farley, but love’s more than romance. Whatever happens, I’ll always love him for the kindness he’s shown me, for his real concern over my welfare. One night I got dressed up and we went out to dinner. All day I’d been doing some pretty grueling scenes for “The Raging Tide.” He asked me a question and ten minutes later I answered that question. ‘Come on, I’m taking you home,’ he said. ‘The best thing anyone can get out of you right now is a medium shot.’ That’s typical of him. He takes care of me. It’s a lovely feeling. Nobody’s ever done it before.” "The real achievement is to be the last woman in a man's life — not the first." . . .

But underneath, there’s a little-girl quality. She’s the kind of person who needs to be taken care of. I’m the average normal male. I like that sort of dependency. It’s a relationship I’ve never known before. I’m just happy,” he grins, “that she doesn’t think I’m her father.” “Behave Yourself” was no accident. For a long time, they’d been crazy to do a picture together, preferably comedy. Jerry Wald and Norman Krasna, who produced “Behave Yourself,” sent Farley the script while Shelley was in New York. He liked it. “What about Shelley?” asked Wald. “I hear she’s temperamental. Can you handle her?” “She’d be great,” said Farley, blandly ducking the last part. “If you can get her. And me.” There lay the rub. First Goldwyn said i yes and Universal said no, then the other ■ way ’round. For six weeks the deal teetered, with boy and girl egging their agent on (they have the same agent), breathing i down their lawyer’s neck (they have the same lawyer), falling blissful and exhausted into each other’s arms when the thing was settled. Dear hearts and gentle people warned Farley. “This will be the end of you and Shelley. She’ll blow up in your face.” “We have a director, remember?” he pointed out. “He’s in charge. We both take orders from him.” “Behave Yourself,” his first comedy, was a big challenge. He bought a tape recorder and rehearsed for two weeks before starting. Worked every night rehearsing the next day’s stuff. He’s hopeful but philosophical about his own contribution. “Good or bad, I’ve learned something about comedy. And that’s progress.” “He’s like Cary Grant,” chirped Shelley. “Only better.” “I should live so long,” said Farley. *T . M. REG. U. S. PAT. OFF. © INTERNATIONAL CELLUCOTTON PRODUCTS CO.
