Barns are a-burning, Paul Newman is recommended to Joanne Woodward as ‘a big stud horse’ and Lee Remick oozes sexuality all over Martin Ritt’s CinemaScope screen. William Faulkner may be the literary source, but this tale of ambition in the family of yet another southern Big Daddy is given the faux Tennessee Williams treatment — it’s a grand soap opera with a fistful of great stars having a grand time.

Here are two forthcoming books by author Brian Hannan that are sure to interest Cinema Retro readers:
The Making Of The Guns Of Navarone by Brian Hannan (published by Baroliant Press May 2013 £8.99)
History tells us The Guns Of Navarone was a huge critical and box office success. But for most of the filming and the run-up to release it didn’t look that way. Us producer Carl Foreman, a victim of the McCarty anti-communist witch-hunt of the early 1950s, lost his scriptwriter (Eric Ambler), preferred cast (William Holden and Cary Grant), director (Alexander Mackendrick), two leading ladies and very nearly one the stars, David Niven who almost died during shooting. Actor Gregory Peck turned into a potential liability after the disastrous box office of Beloved Infidel. Calling on new research material, Brian Hannan takes a fresh look at an old favourite, creating a snapshot, movie-wise, of the period.

Deborah Kerr movies: with Burt Lancaster in From Here to Eternity Deborah Kerr Pt.2: Sexual Outlaw As an unhappily married woman having a torrid affair with an army officer shortly before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Deborah Kerr is equally powerful in one of her best-remembered movies, From Here to Eternity (1953), stealing the romantic melodrama from her male co-stars. Fred Zinnemann’s Academy Award-winning blockbuster marked one of the rare times when Kerr’s physique played a part in her erotic persona, as she parades around Hawaii in Lana Turner-type shorts and frolics on the wet sand with brawny Burt Lancaster. Less obvious is Kerr’s headmaster’s wife in Tea and Sympathy (1956), who, despite her discreet clothing and demeanor, ends up seducing one of her husband’s teenage students. It’s all for a good cause, of course — the "sensitive" adolescent thinks he may be gay...
