One of the lighting technicians who worked with William Wellman for years said in an interview in the ‘70s that the director was always extremely macho and aggressive toward the casts of all of his films except one; Ginger Rogers completely dominated William Wellman on the set of Roxie Hart and would not tolerate anything but gentlemanly behavior. I can’t remember that guy’s name but he said he never saw Rogers act like that with anybody else.
That picture sure looks it!!
Thanks for the interesting information.
These pictures are terrific!
I really think Flora Robson’s speech in The Sea Hawk – it truly is a peroration – is one of the greatest performances in all of the movies. Gotta watch that one again now!
