Alexander Korda

He's flying to New York tonight, right after the broadcast.

And Wednesday, he sails for England, where he's going to make a very important picture for Alexander Korda.

What's it going to be, Kenny? I'm going to play the leading role in the Mikado.

Well, well.

Then the actors and directors get to know each other better.

In Hungary, it's Sándor Korda, Mihály Kertész, who later established the foundation of English and American film production.

And they were operatives, like József Bécsi, who photographed an incredible amount of films in the 1910s.

Later he became a journalist, and made war studies on the levels of the First World War.

But this film does originate in the early 30s with Nijinsky's widow wrote a book about his life.

And Alexander Korda bought the rights to that because he wanted to make it a film.

The story that involves Sergei Degalev is that Sergei Degalev was the impresario of the Ballets Russes, Nijinsky was the lead dancer, and they were in a love affair.

They were having a romantic relationship, a sexual relationship.

Absolutely.

And they would just, they would take, they would take a simple idea or might be a simple idea.

You know, Alexander Korda wants to make a film by Nijinsky, you know, 15 years later.

Oh, here's the red shoes.

So Churchill's yachting in the Mediterranean, you know, with at least keeping up appearances.

He makes the acquaintance of a man named Alexander Korda.

Alan Korda is a Hungarian Jew.

He emigrated literally to Hollywood, okay? Like, he was...

That was one of the snubbed movies I reviewed.

It had been conceived by Powell and producer Alexander Korda in the 1930s, from whom the duo purchased the rights in 1946.

The majority of the cast were professional dancers.

Filming of The Red Shoes took place in mid-1946, primarily in France and England.

And in fact, right now I'm going through the archive myself, and I'm actually documenting the street markets of London, which, um, obviously also was published quite a few decades ago in a really remarkable book, and I'm basically just going through and documenting the originals that we have.

What's interesting, in '35, '36 in London, a fellow Hungarian, Alexander Korda, invited Moholy to create props for his film based on H.G. Wells' book, Things to Come.

And I think only a few seconds were used.

But Moholy, you know, he was tasked with creating a city of the future.

George Murphy appeared tonight through the courtesy of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Alan Marshall through the courtesy of David O. Selznick.

Mr. Marshall will soon be seen in the picture Lydia, produced by Alexander Korda.

Heard in tonight's play were Arthur Q. Bryan as the Justice of the Peace, Joe Cunningham and Noreen Gamill as Janie's parents, Gloria Blondell as Gertrude, Priscilla Lyon as Barbara, Edward Marr as Ice Cream Man, and Fred McKay, Dee Benederit, Alan Wood, and Tyler McVeigh.

Tonight's Lux Radio Theater production of Tom, Dick, and Harry... has come to you with the good wishes of the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, the beauty soap that nine out of ten screen stars use.

I'm sure I'm right about this.

Alexander Korda caught sight of her at a luncheon table.

A

dinner.
