The Cinematic Voyage of the Pirate: Kelly, Garland, and Minnelli at Work
Earl J. Hess
The Cinematic Voyage of The Pirate: Kelly, Garland, and Minnelli at Work follows the model of Hess and Dabholkar's previous study of Singin' in the Rain. Drawing on exhaustive research in archives, memoirs, interviews, and newspaper coverage, it takes the reader from the original conception of the story in the mind of a German playwright named Ludwig Fulda, through S. N. Behrman's Broadway production starring Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, to the arduous task of crafting a suitable screenplay at MGM. Behind-the-scenes issues such as Garland's personal problems during the making of the film and the shaping of the film by Minnelli and Kelly are among the many subjects detailed here.
