Selsey Pavilion Archives: 1950-1959
PAVILION. SELSEY. STARRING Bob Hope, Eve Marie Saint, and George Sanders "THAT CERTAIN FEELING" is an adaptation of the Broadway hit, "The King of Hearts." Hope is cast as a talented but complex-ridden cartoonist who can't hold a job because of his quirks. Miss Saint plays his ex-wife, an ambitious girl who tired of his inability to reach the top and decided to reach it on her own. She turns up in Hope's life again as the fiancee and secretary of a syndicated comic-strip artist, George Sanders. who is loaded with money but is so pompous that he is scaring his readers away. Popular singer Pearl Bailey a, long-established recording and night club star, sings a number of songs, and helps to re-awaken an old romance. A daring and compelling love story against a background of the South Pacific in the grip of war is the setting for "THE PROUD AND THE PROFANE" starring William Holden and Deborah Kerr. A strangely moving story of a boy's loyalties in a clash of adults temperaments is unfolded in "THE SPANISH GARDENER" starring Dirk Bogarde, Jon Whiteley and Michael Hordern. Skilfully adapted from A. J. Cronin's best-selling novel, its lovely backcloth of Spain's beautiful Costa Brava heightened by Vista Vision and Technicolor. Dirk Bogarde is the man of the soil who has that unique ability to understand the workings of a child's mind. he moves with consummate ease characterisation as the austere and snobbish father.
