Harold French Had several box-office successes as director he was known for his romantic dramas and comedies but he also did a good wartime espionage thriller and a historical adventure. Directing feature films from 1937-1955, French was also an actor and scriptwriter and lived to the ripe old age of 97.
Have watched and enjoyed a few of his films just recently, last week we saw Quiet Weekend (1946) with quite a cast of characters ! starring Derek Farr, Frank Cellier, Marjorie Fielding, George Thorpe and Barbara White it was a good play adaption, a very busy little comedy.
The week before we watched the very entertaining W.Somerset Maugham anthology films, based on short stories introduced by the author himself... Quartet (1948), Trio (1950) & Encore (1951)
Harold French directed supported with outstanding casts, the Quartet segment " The Alien Corn" , from Trio "Sanatorium" and from Encore the exciting "Gigolo and Gigolette"
Glynis Johns ... Stella
(Gigolette)
