Los Angeles Restoration Premiere
Otto Preminger independently produced and directed this adaption of the best-selling novel by Henry Morton Robinson. The lavish production, with location photography in Rome and Vienna, earned six Academy Award nominations, including Cinematography (Color) for Leon Shamroy, Art Direction (Color) for Lyle R. Wheeler and Gene Callahan, Film Editing for Louis R. Loeffler, and Costume Design (Color) for Donald Brooks. Preminger himself was nominated for Directing, and John Huston for Supporting Actor (which went that year to Melvyn Douglas for Hud). It also features the last screen appearance of Dorothy Gish.
