Gene Tierney and Veronica Lake were the most dazzling, most bewitching, most disarming starlets to ever light up a screen. Their cheekbones are almost identical; both had wickedly modish hairstyles. Besides that, this film is certified Gold: it's quirky, absurdly well filmed, and Gene acts wonderfully. Ava Gardner said: "When I first saw Lake and Tierney together backstage I thought, 'I hope they're not the extra's, cause I'd be out of a job." Exceptional, classy stuff, albeit loopy, too
Hi Happy. Sorry the hear that they don't ship internationally. In terms of the trouble making the movie Hickman said that this was Cornel Wilde's first major starring role and that Tierney treated him like a nobody. Hickman also said that the director did the same thing and that Wilde told the director off on the last day of shooting. Apparantly the director, John Stahl was also hard on Hickman till a terlegram came from Zanuck saying he saw rushes of the film and that Hickman was great.

Hi Happy. I bought this four disc dvd collection at Target which has Peyton Place, Affair to Remember and Letter to Three Wifes. It costs about $10. It's funny because on Peyton Place everyone loved each other and loved the director. Here everyone seemed to have some real problems with the director and Tierney. The collection is called - Studio Classics.. Hickman said it was the worst expeirence he had as an actor and Wilde said harsh words to the director on the last day of shooting.

@ghostlysea Thanks do you think the exact same DVD set is available on on line to purchase that is..I wonder why there was so much disquite making the movie
DVD has a great commentery by actor Daryl Hickman who plays Danny in the film. He has some nice things to say about Cornel Wilde and some not so nice things to say about Gene Tierney and diractor John Stahl.
@ghostlysea Where can I get the DVD you are refering to I would love to hear Hickmans comments, the DVD I have at the moment is part of a compilation, not the restored version, set of Genes movies which includes Laura, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir,Thunderbirds and Tobacco Road. The Laura DVD has some great info on the making of the movie, would appreciate your help.
Wouldn't it have been great to have been alive in the 1940s and to have met someone on a train? Can you imagine! Beautiful technicolor and a great plot in this film.
Ok, yes, she is so stunning it's hard to believe *she's* pursuing *him*. Seriously. But I know that's not the point. She's the main character of this story.
@stitchgrl777 The female of the species is more deadly than the male, Gene proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt with such a stunning masterclass of a performance....

@ghostlysea I find it difficult to believe Gene would be unkind in such a way, but then I'm probably biased.
