They made quite a fuss about the way . Sigrid Gurie should react to Gary Cooper's Occidental kiss in Marco Polo” but that was a Chi- nese exception. Miss Gurie, as the Oriental princess, wasn't supposed ever to have been kissed that way before. Ordinarily, the researchers don't specify how a kiss should be de- livered and receipted for—even in period pictures. Directors and play- ers, too, take it for granted that the kiss is timeless, that Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Maid Marian of Robin Hood’s time and Joan Craw- ford in her most modern roles should react the same way. Michael Curtiz, directing scenes between Errol Flynn Olivia de Havilland in the “Robi Hood” picture, simply rehe: them in their lines, placed in a romantic setting, and lefl them to their own devices. De Mille did the same with Fredric March and Franciska Gaal in “The Buccaneer,” and William Wyler made no hard-and-fast rules for the kissing scenes of Bette and Henry Fonda in “Jezebel, riod 1850. Agtaire No Problem But this seeming laxness in re- search never affects the kissing problems of the movie cameraman. Period Now or Period Then, that worthy has a job with every kiss. He must never, for one thing, allow the hero's nose to hide the heroine’s face. (He is saved from the reverse problem by the fact that any heroine with a nose capa- ble of hiding a hero's face would not be in pictures.) He must also, kiss and themn |some tropical insurgents in certain lights and ang pears to be a kiss on the really need not be a kiss at all but merely a pose designed to look lik a kiss to the camera The least of his kissing problems, however, remains Fred Astaire, Fred is a ki ess star, no matter how romantie, in all his pictures. Often in Jail When John Ford is directing picture, you can visit the set and be fairly cerfain in advance you'll see a prison or dungeon or other dreary scene. It wasn't a dungeon in Men and a Prayer” the other —just a drab cellar armory where were stor- . But the the atmosphere sted a jail. cases, a day ing guns against the de heavy stone arches of darkness, su Other Ford pictures, not alway dominated by such sets, have had their share of them. “The Inform- er,” remember? And “The Prisoner of Shark Island,” and “The Plough and the £ nd “T Hurri- cane He isn't partial to jails, t just ons that any extra-virile screen ubject that comes along gravitates natura in his direction, like one drop of quicksilver to another, Jails and dungeons seem to belong in those subjects.
