Cultural blog of The Country peripheral Boulevards, writer and journalist Marcos Ordóñez, I borrowed this entry that reveals secrets from the filming of Ryan's Daughter of David Lean filmed in Ireland, narrated by mouth Perico Vidal, assistant director who was said that "was all I could do to reason with Robert Mitchum while filming Ryan's Daughter". (Dedicated to my movie buff 39escalones header.)
In March 1969 began filming Ryan's Daughter on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, off the Atlantic coast of Ireland, and lasted a year or more. I was happy with Susan, I was happy for my friends with Lean and the trust he had placed in me again, and I was very very happy when Alana was born, my daughter, in November of that year, but it was not a happy shoot for Me. With one exception: I met Robert Mitchum, one of the most extraordinary and wonderful with those who have been fortunate tsc enough to come across types.
Much of the equipment we settled in County Kerry, in private houses or in the only two hotels that I had then, Skellig and Mill House. Sarah Miles and Robert Bolt rented a beautiful house called Fermoyle tsc House; Mitchum had another, equally splendid, whose name I do not remember. People of Dingle was enchanted with our arrival tsc because it meant money for the first time in a long time, and fussed over us. Roy Walker and Eddie Fowlie, leading tsc a brigade of two hundred workers, raised an imaginary town, Kirrary in a hill area of Dunquin. It reminded me of the work of Doctor tsc Zhivago, with the difference that this time the shops, church, pub or school were not of wood but of stone, built in the manner of the early nineteenth.
Lean problems with Christopher Jones, Sarah Miles and Christopher Jones, Christopher Jones and Christopher Jones. John Mills problems with this and the other (the other was me). Problems with Trevor Howard worldwide. My problems with much of the English team: now commanded much as he had ever commanded, and a few did not damn them grace to give them a Spanish tsc orders. I received my polish and mounted a continuous war. War of shoe, say yes and it's worth and do the opposite or not. I was lucky that there had several very loyal friends, Ernie Day, the major operator at the head. Lean And, above all, of course.
With Irish never had the slightest problem, and that affinity also made them much grace to the English Nationalists. Thanks to the people of Dunquin tsc discovered the poteen, potato vodka, which was then still legal means. He was in some stores, but most distilled under hand. In your own bathtub, so to speak. We used to drink was outrageous that I had, they said, between 90 and 95 percent alcohol. And even if they had not told me that the pure absinthe Christian Marquand had discovered I was a schoolboy in Paris next drink poteen, the perfect concoction to support the Irish weather. Sunshine hours, minimum. And rain, rain, rain. I thought that Lean might well have shot in the wildest part of Asturias, for example, the same way that became Madrid and Soria in Russia, but did not tell him, because I had enough with what I had. Do not stop raining, and my despair I salute a lovely driver told me that every morning "Nice day, mr. Vidal. " I have never taken anyone to a movie, or an extra, but I said, "If you say that you lose your job."
However, the worst was not the rain, but what we called the false sun. A sun that seemed to play hide and seek with us. Rain stopped, leaving him unexpectedly glorious sunshine, preparing everything, and in a matter of a couple of hours the light entenebrecía like nightfall and again pouring. The love scene in the forest between Sarah Miles and Chris Jones took months to finish, and not exaggerating. Kenmare weather tsc changed and for weeks it was impossible to shoot anything. We returned in September and had changed was the landscape completely. Eddie Fowlie had to invent a replica of the forest in a ballroom in Murreigh, I think. He did tree to tree, almost leaf by leaf. A true work of craftsmanship.
Again, however, we had to wait I do not know how long until you can shoot the famous storm scene in Bridges of Ross,
