Not to be confused with The Barretts of Wimpole Street.
The Barretts of Wimpole Street was a 1957 film originating from the United Kingdom, and was a re-make of the earlier 1934 version by the same director, Sidney Franklin.[1] Both films are based on the play by Rudolf Besier. The screenplay for the 1957 film is credited to John Dighton, although Franklin used exactly the same script for the second movie as he did for the first.[2] The film, set in the early 19th century, starred Jennifer Jones, John Gielgud, and Bill Travers.
[edit] SynopsisElizabeth Barrett (Jones) is the disabled grown-up daughter of Edward Moulton-Barrett (Gielgud), and has an intense interest in poetry. However, she lives under the obsessive rule of her father, and this severely limits her ability to develop her love of rhyme amongst her peers. Edward in fact shows clear incestuous tendencies towards her, and discourages close contact with any males. When the poet Robert Browning enters her life, though, matters are brought to a head, through the intervention of Browning. Edward finds that his control over Elizabeth, and her younger sister Henrietta, is far from complete.[1] [edit] Cast
[edit] Production notesTo lend the whole project an air of authenticity, producer Sam Zimbalist moved filming from the 1934 location in the USA to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios[3] in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, using only "fine English actors" and as many correct locations as possible, including St Marylebone Parish Church in London.[4] Bill Travers (Browning) and Virginia McKenna (Henrietta), though cast to play future in-laws in the film, were actually husband and wife in real life.[5] The film was made in Metrocolor, using CinemaScope, with an aspect ratio of 2.35 : 1 on 35mm film.[6] The 4-track stereo sound was supplied by Westrex.[7] [edit] References
