Fontaine and Arturo de Cordova,
Paramounts Spanish discovery.
What a feudl People walking off
the set and people saying things
Mr.. Hays wouldn't like. Although
lovers in the picture, Joan and
Arturo hated each other and were
not keeping it secret Also, Miss
Fontaine was in purgatory. Tenn
permanent, the grapevine insisted.
So we visited the set of French
mans Greek" and Joan says she
isn't mad at anybody except Hit
Ter.
Arturo de Cordova says he isn't
mad at anybody.
Director Mitchell Leisen says he's
only mad at northern California's
weather.
Maybe it was just a dull day. But
despite al the palsy-Walsy routines,
there was smoke.
HOW 1T STARTED
According to the grapevine, Joan
started hating de Cordova the day
he was cast opposite her in the pic
ture. Seems she objected to an
, unknown as her co-star.
Word G. Joan's objections, so the
story goes got back to de Cordova
while he was playing game of
pin rummy with LUpe Velez. De
COrdova Immediately hit the CELL
ing. After all, he was big star in
Mexico, had won the Mexican
equivalent of three Aca d e m y
awards. No one vase going to push
him around.
Well, the picture started with
Joan and de Cordova as the CO.
stars. First day on the set, SO the
story goes, de Cordova stood in
front of a light, casting shadow
on Miss Fontaine. She is supposed
to have said, Who do you think I
am, Mexican actress?" De Cor
dova is supposed to have answered,
II wouldn't do that to Mexican
actress"
The great love story of French
mans Creek" if you could believe
the gossip, was off to beautiful
start. Since then there's been talk
of Joan walking off the set, studio
employees hoping they will be draft
ed to escape working on the set,
and Joan and de Cordova mixing
on-stage love with off-stage in
suits.
So we visited the set.
THE LOWDOWN
Joan told us: Il can't understand
who started all this talk There's
no truth to it. Why, Arturo and
had dinner together every night for
eight weeks While we were on loca-
ton. I did object to one scene.
They wanted me to say, English
men are terrible lovers I'm mar
ried to an Englishman. refused to
say the line, and the studio agreed.
I've never walked off the set. I've
never been late for work. I'm ter
ribly upset by all this gossip
Director Leisen told us: Joan is
a funny kid, but great actress.
And very cooperative. She likes
to be pampered-but what staI
doesn't? Arturo is a Latin. He
doesn't understand that the Eng
lishmen's idea of fun is insulting
each other Joan is English. So
are Basil Rathbone and Nigel
Bruce. Sometimes he misunder-
stands them"
De Cordova told Us: Miss Fon-
taine is fine acress. I'm grateful
for her help. There might have
been a misunderstanding, but, If
there was one, it has all been clear
ed up
