''Blanche Fury'' is a 1948 British Technicolor drama film directed by Marc Allégret and starring Valerie Hobson, Stewart Granger and Michael Gough. It was adapted from a novel by Joseph Shearing. In Victorian era England, two schemers will stop at nothing to acquire the Fury estate, even murder. == Filming == Star Valerie Hobson was married to the producer Anthony Havelock-Allen. She later recalled "I had just had our son, who was born mentally handicapped, and he meant the film as a sort of 'loving gift', making me back into a leading lady, which was a wonderful idea. The film didn't work completely."〔Brian MacFarlane, ''An Autobiography of British Cinema'', Methuen 1997 p 305〕 The courtroom scenes were filmed in the Shire Hall at Stafford.〔 〕 The location scenes for the film were shot at Wootton Lodge (which stood in for the Clare Hall of the story), a magnificent three-storey Georgian mansion at Upper Ellastone on the Derbyshire – Staffordshire border and on the surrounding Weaver Hills, as well as on Dunstable Downs in Bedfordshire. Stewart Granger later said the film "was a silly story, too grim and melodramatic, but its a wonderful looking film... I enjoyed working with Valerie Hobson, but the film didn't work."〔Brian MacFarlane, ''An Autobiography of British Cinema'', Methuen 1997 p 231〕 Antony Havelock-Allen later said he felt the most exciting aspect of the story was the murder being committed by a "gypsy woman" who was actually man. However he says "Stewart Granger refused to play it dressed as a woman, even though you would only have seen a falsh of him, so it lost that high point scene."〔Brian MacFarlane, ''An Autobiography of British Cinema'', Methuen 1997 p 292〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blanche Fury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
