20th Century Fox had some very fine young actors and actresses under contract. Hope Lange, Gardner McKay and Diane Baker. (Note Marilyn Monroe was also under contract at 20th bur MM was a mega star, the biggest in the wold)
Producer Jerry Was who was responsible of some great movies such as Joan Crawford's Mildred Pierce, and Jane Wyman's Johnny Belinda both of which won Oscars for Crawford and Wyman, went to 20th to Produce MM's Lets Make Love, and The Best of Everything with a cameo by Crawford and starring Hope Lange, and Diane Baker.
Martin Ritt a great Director helmed this fine movie.
Richard Beymer was given the big build up by 20th and co starred with Joanne Woodward in " The Stripper" appeared with many other stars in Zanuck's "The Longest Day" , and was on loan out to Columbia for Roz Russell's drama " Five Finger Exercise" and went to UA on loan out for Robert Wise's Oscar Winning " West Side Story". Mr. Beymer was shunned by Natalie Wood on West Side Story, very un becoming. They were suppose to be intense lovers in the movie!
Richard Beymer was cast as the star of this movie based on Hemingway's work. Richard Beymer does fine and the film is beautifully photographed and top notch production values. Paul Newman a true mega star does a cameo in this film. Diane Baker is also cast in this film
I liked this film and liked Richard Beemer's work in this and other films and wish he moved up to super star rank . Mr. Beymer worked with Paul Newman, Roz Russell, Joanne Woodward, among others and was directed by George Stevens, and Robert Wise two of the all time best. I do not know why Beymer after leaving 20th his career fizzled.
