The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1957 film)

The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a 1957 Metrocolor CinemaScope film originating from the United Kingdom, and was a remake of the earlier 1934 version by the same director, Sidney Franklin. Both films are based on the play The Barretts of Wimpole Street 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. The film, set in the early 19th century, stars Jennifer Jones, John Gielgud, and Bill Travers.

To lend the whole project an air of authenticity, producer Sam Zimbalist moved filming from the 1934 location in the USA to the MetroGoldwynMayer studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, using only fine English actors with the exception of American actress Jennifer Jones, and as many correct locations as possible, including St Marylebone Parish Church in London. Bill Travers Browning and Virginia McKenna Henrietta, though cast to play future inlaws in the film, were actually husband and wife in real life.The film was made in Metrocolor, using CinemaScope, with an aspect ratio of 2.35on 35mm film. The 4track stereo sound was supplied by Westrex. ........
