London: British Lion Film Corporation. Early Draft script for the 1950 British film "Into the Blue," seen here under the early working title "Rendezvous in Cannes." The film was released in the US under the title "Man in a Dinghy." Copy belonging to sound recordist Peter Handford, with his name in blue manuscript ink on the front wrapper.
Hal Erickson: A film much enhanced by the presence of two veteran British movie favorites. Jack Hulbert and Constance Cummings (as John and Kate Ferguson), who embark upon their first vacation in years. Traveling from England to Norway by yacht, the Fergusons are joined by their taciturn skipper Bill (Edward Rigby) and romantic leads Nicholas Foster (top-billed Michael Wilding) and ship's cook Jackie (Odile Versois). A quiet story, one whose strongest suits are its stars and its location photography. Set on the Seine river and other waterways between Norway and England.
